President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he told Iran’s new leadership that it’s “too late” to have negotiations amid U.S. and Israeli strikes targeting the country since Saturday morning.

Strikes on Saturday killed Iran’s top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and dozens of high-level Iranian officials. Across the Iranian capital city of Tehran, explosions rang out early Tuesday morning as the United States and Israel hit Iran with new airstrikes. Iran and its allies have hit back against Israel, neighboring Gulf states, and targets critical to the world’s oil and natural gas production.
