According to TASS news agency on June 18, the Iranian Air Force took control of Israeli skies in a night attack on Israel.

"Today's missile attack shows that we have gained complete control over the skies of Israeli territories, and the people there are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks," Iran's IRNA news agency reported, citing a statement from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

IRNA clarified that Iran's control was achieved through the use of Fateh missiles.

Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces press service reported airstrikes from Iran twice overnight.

US ABC News reported that US officials assess the next 24-48 hours as a decisive time in the Israel-Iran conflict, implying the possibility of using force if there is no timely diplomatic solution.

"In a meeting between President Donald Trump and his senior advisers in the Oval Office of the White House on June 17, US officials made clear that the next 24 to 48 hours will be crucial in determining whether a diplomatic solution to the Israel-Iran issue can be reached, or whether the president may resort to military action," ABC News said.

Earlier, President Donald Trump demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender." Mr. Trump added that the US knew the position of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, but had no plans to "eliminate" him immediately. The White House boss said he did not want to bring in the US military to resolve this crisis, but stressed that America's patience was "gradually running out."
