                <media:description>TOPSHOT - A plume of smoke rises after a strike on the Iranian capital Tehran, on March 3, 2026. Iran stepped up its attacks on economic targets and US missions across the Middle East on Tuesday as the US president warned it was &quot;too late&quot; for the Islamic republic to seek talks to escape the war. The United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28, with the killing of Iran&apos;s supreme leader and the Islamic republic retaliated with barrages of missiles at Gulf states and Israel.
