Trump speculates about ‘regime change’ in Iran as Tehran vows ‘decisive response’
Donald Trump has floated the possibility of leadership change in Iran, hours after his team said replacing the Iranian government was not the aim of US attacks
Iran’s military vows a “decisive response” after Trump says US strikes caused “monumental damage” to Iranian nuclear sites – the UN’s nuclear watchdog calls for a ceasefire in order to inspect the damage
Iran’s foreign minister is in Moscow for talks with Putin about “common challenges and threats” – the UK’s foreign secretary is among those urging Iran not to escalate its response
Meanwhile attacks have continued. Israel carried out “one of the most intense attacks” on Iran’s military infrastructure overnight and a fresh “series of strikes” towards Tehran this morning, its military says
Elsewhere the US asks China to put pressure on Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route
