Israel and Iran have opened a new chapter in their long history of conflict when Israel launched a major attack with strikes early Friday on Tehran.

The conflict, the most intense fighting between the two countries in decades, has been met in the United States with feelings of “frustration and helplessness,” as well as heartbreak.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Sunday he hoped an upcoming meeting of the Group of Seven countries would show unity and could reach agreement on four key points to help resolve the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Aerial attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight into Sunday, marking a third day of strikes following Israel’s Friday attack. That surprise strike hit the heart of the Iran's nuclear program, killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.

Iran conflict could open opportunities for Russia to possibly become a power broker to help end the confrontation.

Leaders of some of the world’s biggest economic powers arrive in the Canadian Rockies for a Group of 7 summit that's been shadowed by an escalating conflict between Israel and Iran and Trump's trade war.

After Israel's recent attacks on Iran, dozens of Winnipeggers lined up on Portage Avenue to protest the military strikes and the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Financial markets are set to reopen Monday with investors squarely focused on escalating geopolitical tensions as Israel and Iran continue to bombard each other with no sign of a pause.
