US President Donald Trump said on 6 November that the United States may have to "destroy" the rest of Iran. He added that rebuilding the country afterwards would take 25 years, and that people will "know soon enough" whether he acts. The remarks come during the US-Israel war on Iran, as Al Jazeera's live coverage describes the conflict.
Nuclear proposal through Qatar
Iran has reportedly sent a nuclear proposal to the United States. It was passed on through Qatari mediators. Washington is currently reviewing the offer, while Tehran is waiting for its seven demands to be met. The source does not spell out what those demands are.
Mood in Tehran
On 4 November, Iranians held a rally outside the former US embassy building in Tehran. It marked the 47th anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the embassy. Participants held a cartoon placard of Trump.
