The emergency services reported five injuries in Beersheba, southern Israel, where fires were burning near Microsoft's offices. Iran has not reported casualties today
The world waits to see what Trump will do next
As the conflict between Israel and Iran rolls into its eighth day, the world has been watching President Donald Trump to see what he will do next:
- The president said he will make a decision on whether to get involved in Israel's war against Iran in the next two weeks.
- In a statement read out by the White House press secretary (Karoline Leavitt), Trump said there was a "substantial chance of negotiations" with Iran
- Trump has approved plans to attack Iran but has not decided whether to go through with them or not, sources have told the BBC's US partner CBS news
- He is reportedly weighing an attack on Iran's underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, according to CBS. Only the US is considered to have a bomb that might be large enough to destroy the underground complex
- UK media examine Trump's two-week "reprieve"
