Israel and Iran exchanged more missile strikes Tuesday, including one that hit central Tel Aviv, according to Israeli authorities.
The latest exchanges come as Washington and Tehran send conflicting messages about the war’s future and possible talks to end it. On Monday, President Trump said the U.S. and Iran have had “productive” conversations about ending the war.
