US carries out retaliatory strikes on Iran following intercepted missile attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated following a meeting with US President Donald Trump that Kyiv, Washington, and European partners seek an end to the war, but Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to negotiate even a temporary ceasefire. Zelenskyy emphasized the necessity of accelerating diplomatic efforts.

Concurrently, US Central Command reported that American forces successfully intercepted several ballistic missiles launched by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeting US bases in the Middle East. In response, the US military launched retaliatory strikes against targets in Iran. President Trump warned that while negotiations with Tehran continue, the timeframe for a diplomatic resolution remains short, cautioning that severe military action could resume if talks fail.
