As reported by Al Jazeera, Trump spoke after Iran’s parliament passed a bill to suspend cooperation with the UN’s IAEA, which still needs approval from its national security council.

According to Iran, 627 people, including 13 children, were killed and 4,870 were wounded since Israel launched its attack on June 13 and in Israel, at least 28 people were killed in Iranian strikes.
