00:00Donald Trump urges Tehran to reach a nuclear deal to prevent further conflict with Israel
00:06before there is nothing left.
00:08The U.S. President is also set to attend a National Security Council meeting later today.
00:14The Trump administration has sought to distance the U.S. from the strikes.
00:18U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. was not involved in the strikes,
00:23adding that Washington's top priority remains the safety of American forces in the region.
00:29Israel's ambassador to the United Nations said Israel has an ongoing dialogue with the U.S.,
00:34but the decision to strike Iran was made independently.
00:38The strikes come just days before a planned sixth round of nuclear talks
00:42between U.S. and Iranian officials in Oman on Sunday.
00:46It is now unclear whether those talks will move forward.
00:50Trump had earlier warned that any military escalation could spark a massive conflict in the Middle East
00:56and undermine U.S.-Eran negotiations.
