Israel and Iran on Sunday traded strikes for a third day as US-Iran nuclear talks, scheduled to be held in Oman, were called off.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Iran's nuclear programme was an "existential" threat for the security of Israel and of Europe, and that diplomacy was necessary to end the conflict.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had "solid proof" that US forces and bases in the region had supported Israel in its attacks.
In Israel, at least 10 people were killed in overnight Iranian strikes, according to rescue services, bringing the country’s total death toll to 13.
Iranian authorities have not offered an overall death toll. The closet number has been 78 people killed and over 320 wounded, which came from Iran’s ambassador to the UN, although a US-based human rights group said at least 406 Iranians had been killed.
