Donald Trump was shaking hands at a picnic with lawmakers after pushing for more diplomacy with Iran. Israel ignored his pleas.

Israel claimed Tuesday to have killed a top Iranian general as it traded more strikes with its longtime foe, and U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tehran's residents to evacuate while demanding that Iran surrender without conditions.

Iran is finding itself in a difficult endgame in its fight with Israel, with no calvary coming to support it. Israel now has control of the skies over Tehran, and public discussions on an attack on the Fordow nuclear facility are moving to the mainstream.
