US-Israel-Iran War News LIVE: Trump Claims Iran Ready To Talk, Iranian Leader Says Will Not Negotiate With The US

Iran’s security chief Ali Larijani has said that the country "will not negotiate" with US.

Larijani denied media reports that Iranian officials had sought to open talks with the Trump administration after a wave of U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.

As per The Atlantic, Trump stated that Iran wanted to talk to the US. "They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them. They should have done it sooner. They should have given what was very practical and easy to do sooner. They waited too long," he said.

Loud explosions were heard in Dubai, UAE, and Doha, Qatar, according to Reuters.

in a joint statement, the E3 countries, Britain, France, and Germany have called Iran’s missile attacks as indiscriminate and disproportionate. The leaders said they are ready to take steps to defend their interests in the region after missile attacks by Iran.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said that the US can use British bases for defensive strikes against Iranian missiles. 

In a statement Monday, President Joseph Aoun said Hezbollah’s rocket launches from Lebanon “target all the efforts and endeavors exerted by the Lebanese state to keep Lebanon away from the dangerous military confrontations taking place in the region.”

He added that while Israeli strikes on Lebanon are condemned, “persisting in using Lebanon once again as a platform for proxy wars in which we have no involvement will expose our country to risks once more.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday spoke with his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, to discuss the situation in West Asia and conveyed India's concerns.

During his telephonic conversation with Netanyahu, Modi emphasised the safety of civilians as a priority.

"Had a telephone call with PM Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the current regional situation. Conveyed India's concerns over recent developments and emphasised the safety of civilians as a priority. India reiterates the need for an early cessation of hostilities," Modi said in a post on 'X'.

An Iraqi Shiite militia claimed a drone attack Monday targeting U.S. troops at the airport in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, further widening the retaliation over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Saraya Awliya al-Dam is one of several Shiite militias that have been active in Iraq since the 2003 invasion led by the United States, which overthrew Saddam Hussein.

Iraq and the United States did not immediately respond to the assertion.

After Hezbollah fired into Israel, the Israeli military ordered residents of around 50 villages in eastern and southern Lebanon to leave before potential retaliation attacks.

The U.S.-Israeli airstrike campaign that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei prompted the Hezbollah attack.

Civilians were advised by the Israeli military to leave their homes and relocate to open spaces at least 1,000 meters from villages.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to deliver a “decisive blow” to Iran, on Sunday said he has given instructions to his forces to continue to escalate their offensive against Tehran.

"I have given instructions for the continuation of the campaign. Yesterday, we eliminated the tyrant Khamenei. Along with him, we eliminated dozens of senior figures of the oppressive regime," the Israeli premier said.

"Our forces are now striking at the heart of Tehran with increasing intensity, and this will only continue to escalate further over the coming days," he said.

"We are in a campaign in which we are bringing the full strength of the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) to the battle, as never before, in order to ensure our existence and our future. But we are also bringing to this campaign the assistance of the United States, my friend, US President Donald Trump, and the US military," Netanyahu said, referring to the joint US-Israel offensive.

"This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years: smite the terror regime hip and thigh. This is what I promised – and this is what we shall do," the Israeli premier said.

Israel launched multiple strikes on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, after the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired missiles across the border early Monday.

The Israeli military said it intercepted a projectile that crossed the border, saying that several others fell in open areas. No injuries or damage were reported.

Hezbollah said in a statement that the strikes were carried out in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader on Saturday by U.S. and Israeli strikes in a sudden and intensifying military operation against Iran.

It was the first time in more than a year that Hezbollah had claimed a strike against Israel.
