WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Sunday urged Iran and Israel — who are locked in an exchange of military strikes — to “make a deal,” but suggested they might need to “fight it out” first. “I think it’s time for a deal,” Trump told reporters, as Israel and Iran exchanged a fresh barrage of missile strikes and threatened more devastation in a conflict that appeared to be intensifying. “But sometimes they have to fight it out, but we’re going to see what happens,” Trump said, speaking at the White House before heading to Canada to take part in a G7 summit.

US president warns ‘next planned attacks’ on Iran will be ‘even more brutal’.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned Israel that it ‘must expect severe punishment’.
