The ongoing air war between Israel and Iran has entered its second week, with both countries maintaining their positions.

As the conflict escalates, European officials are making efforts to bring Iran back to the negotiating table.

President Donald Trump stated that any decision regarding potential US involvement in the conflict would be made within two weeks.

Israel initiated attacks on Iran last Friday, aiming to prevent its enemy from developing nuclear weapons.

In response, Iran has launched missile and drone strikes against Israel.

The Israeli military claims that their operations have killed 639 people in Iran, including military officials and nuclear scientists.

On the other hand, at least two dozen Israeli civilians have lost their lives due to Iranian missile attacks.

The accuracy of these figures cannot be independently verified.

In response to the escalating conflict, European foreign ministers from Britain, France, and Germany, along with the EU's top diplomat, are scheduled to meet with their Iranian counterpart in Geneva on Friday.

This meeting is taking place as the European countries call for de-escalation and while President Trump considers whether or not to join the strikes against Tehran.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that there is still an opportunity to reach a diplomatic solution with Iran.

He met with US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, before discussing the situation in Geneva alongside his French, German, and EU counterparts.

Israel's attacks have targeted nuclear sites and missile capabilities, but also aim to weaken the government of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

However, Iran claims that they are targeting military and defense-related sites in Israel.

The conflict has sparked concerns about a potential regional escalation.

In an effort to de-escalate the situation, the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany, along with the EU's foreign policy chief, will meet with Iran's foreign minister in Geneva on Friday.

They emphasize the need for immediate action to prevent further violence in the Middle East.

The Israeli military claims that Iran fired a missile at Israel equipped with cluster munitions, which disperse small bombs over a wide area.

This marks the first reported use of cluster munitions in the ongoing conflict.

There have been no reports of casualties from these bombs so far.

Iran has appointed a new chief for its Revolutionary Guards intelligence division following an Israeli strike that killed the previous holder of this position.

The new head, Brigadier General Majid Khadami, replaces Mohammed Kazemi, who was killed during the Israeli attack.

The role of the US in this conflict remains uncertain.

President Trump is considering potential involvement and has mentioned using bunker-buster bombs to destroy underground nuclear sites.

However, a final decision on US involvement will be made within two weeks.

Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have condemned Israel's actions and called for de-escalation in the conflict.

As Iran faces one of its greatest external threats since the 1979 revolution, any challenge to its rule would likely require popular uprisings or mass unrest.

However, activists involved in previous protests state that people are currently focused on saving themselves and their loved ones rather than engaging in large-scale demonstrations.

The UN nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, has identified Isfahan as the location of a uranium enrichment plant that Iran plans to open in response to diplomatic pressure against it.

This announcement came just before Israel launched its military strikes against Iranian targets, including nuclear facilities.

Tehran did not provide detailed information about the plant's location at the time.
