Iran and Israel are continuing to trade strikes in a fifth day of conflict. The Iranians have launched nearly 30 missiles at Israel, with alerts activated across many areas. There have been more explosions in Tel Aviv and strikes also happening in central Israel. US President Donald Trump has said he is looking for “better than a ceasefire” from Iran while talking to reporters on Air Force One about the ongoing strikes between the Iranians and Israel. He also insisted the US was doing “pretty well” in its support for Israel. Analyst Abas Aslani says Iran has long been familiar with contradicting messages coming out of the US, adding that he expects the pressure on the Iranian leadership to “backfire”.
