• Donald Trump has floated the possibility of leadership change in Iran, hours after his team said replacing the Iranian government was not the aim of US attacks
• Iran’s military vows a “decisive response” after Trump says US strikes caused “monumental damage” to Iranian nuclear sites – the UN’s nuclear watchdog calls for a ceasefire in order to inspect the damage
• 
  Israel’s military is striking Tehran with “unprecedented force”, the country’s defence minister says, after “one of the most intense attacks” on Iran’s military infrastructure overnight
• Iran’s foreign minister is in Moscow for talks with Putin about “common challenges and threats” – the UK’s foreign secretary is among those urging Iran not to escalate its response
• Elsewhere the US asks China to put pressure on Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route
