TEHRAN, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said Friday he believes Iran will hold talks with Washington "this week" as the US-Israeli war against Tehran entered its second month. A brief military statement said Israeli forces were "currently striking Iranian terror regime targets across Tehran", without elaborating. Iran had sent "messages" to the American side but had not formally responded to the peace plan, Rubio said. Iranian strikes have shattered the Gulf's reputation for stability, hitting Dubai's airport, Bahrain's capital and energy facilities across the region during the course of the war. Yemen's Houthi movement warned Friday it would join the war if US-Israeli attacks continue hitting Iran or if more countries enter the conflict.
