CONFLICT ENTERS FOURTH DAY: Israel and Iran have begun a new round of attacks, as the conflict between the two heavily armed rivals enters its fourth day.

On Friday, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, told the UN Security Council that "the above-ground part of the pilot fuel enrichment plant, where Iran was producing uranium enriched up to 60% U-235, has been destroyed".

It’s a tableau no world leader — except perhaps President Donald Trump — wants to repeat. Convening in the Canadian Rockies for this week’s Group of 7 summit, presidents and prime ministers are hoping to avoid the acrimony that pervaded the last time this country played host to the world’s most exclusive club.

Iranian parliamentarians are preparing a bill that could push Tehran toward exiting the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the foreign ministry said on Monday, while reiterating Tehran's official stance against developing nuclear weapons.

Nineteen Israelis have been reported killed in Iranian attacks since Friday, while Iran’s health ministry says 224 have died in Israeli strikes.

A Democratic senator introduced legislation to prevent President Donald Trump from using military force against Iran without Congress's authorization.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said on “State of the Union” Sunday that if Israel’s attack doesn’t somehow convince Iran to make major concessions in Trump’s diplomatic attempt to end its nuclear program, then the United States should be prepared to join the conflict.

Hundreds of civilians, mostly in Iran, have been killed by dueling airstrikes despite international pleas for de-escalation.

The president had opposed Israeli action against Iran but came to believe that Israel had reason to act and that the U.S. would have to lend some support.

At least 224 civilians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Iran, a Health Ministry spokesman said late Sunday. In the first three days of the war, 1,481 dead or injured were received at hospitals across the country,
