Iran is yet to decide whether it will join a sixth round of nuclear talks with the United States on Sunday (June 15), state media reported, as Israel and Iran traded fire for the second day.
"It is still unclear what decision we will make for Sunday," foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said of the talks in Oman, quoted by the official IRNA news agency on Saturday.
Meanwhile, as the war escalated between Israel and Iran, Tehran has vowed to expand the war in the coming days, adding that they will also attack US bases now.
Iran's Fars news agency cited senior military commanders, saying that the attackers (Israel) would be the target of a decisive and extensive Iranian response.
"The war will expand in the coming days and will also include US bases in the region. The attackers will be the target of a decisive and extensive Iranian response," Fars reported citing a military official.
After Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, Iran retaliated and launched missiles across Israel, hitting residential buildings, that led to the death of three people, while injuring over two dozen.
