Trump says possible he would talk with Iran - Fox News
US President Donald Trump said it was possible he would be willing to talk with Iran, Fox News reported on Tuesday, citing an interview aired on Monday.
Israel's military said it completed another wave of overnight strikes in Tehran, targeting an underground complex used for weapons research and development.
The military said the site included a tunnel where the Revolutionary Guards carried out tests linked to the development and production of ballistic missiles.
The complex was located inside the Imam Hussein military university used by the Revolutionary Guards for operational activities, the Israeli military said.
Hakan Fidan told his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi on Tuesday that the violation of Turkey's airspace by Iranian ballistic missiles was unacceptable, a Turkish Foreign Ministry source told Reuters.
Araghchi told Fidan that Tehran had carried out a broad investigation into the missiles, the source said.
Fidan also urged all sides to avoid steps that could put civilians at risk and said Ankara would take measures against missiles targeting Turkey.
The Kremlin said on Tuesday that proposals by Russian President Vladimir Putin to mediate and reduce tensions in the Iran conflict remain on the table.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was ready to provide any assistance it could to help ease tensions in the Middle East.
Peskov declined to give details on the ideas Putin raised during a call with US President Donald Trump.
Iran’s government said on Tuesday that it is providing special internet access to select users capable of promoting its messaging online, even as the country remains under what monitoring groups call one of the most severe nationwide internet shutdowns ever recorded.
Much of that privileged access is believed to operate through so-called “white SIM cards” – mobile lines exempt from Iran’s filtering system that allow direct access to blocked platforms such as X, Telegram and Instagram.

Iran’s government said on Tuesday that it is providing special internet access to select users capable of promoting its messaging online, even as the country remains under what monitoring groups call one of the most severe nationwide internet shutdowns ever recorded.
Much of that privileged access is believed to operate through so-called “white SIM cards” – mobile lines exempt from Iran’s filtering system that allow direct access to blocked platforms such as X, Telegram and Instagram.
Spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani did not directly refer to those SIM cards but spoke about the government-imposed national internet blackout, saying Tehran is instead offering connectivity to “those who can better deliver the message.”
According to internet monitoring group NetBlocks, the Iranian government has been promoting its agenda through whitelisted online services while the public remains in a digital blackout
“The regime continues to promote its agenda through whitelisted networks, cultivating media assets at home and abroad,” NetBlocks said on Friday, six days into the latest round of nationwide internet shutdown.
This is while President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed in early December to deactivate the so-called “white SIM cards” that grant unfiltered access to a circle of state-linked users.
“We have instructed that these white internet lines be turned black as well, to show what will happen to people if this blackness continues,” he said.
Pezeshkian has repeatedly promised to lift filtering, a key pledge of his 2024 presidential campaign.
Meanwhile, Iran’s nationwide internet shutdown has continued for more than 240 hours, marking one of the most severe government-imposed nationwide blackouts ever recorded globally and the second longest in the country’s history after the January protests, according to NetBlocks.
The group said on Tuesday that Iran has now spent roughly a third of the year 2026 offline.
