A senior White House official has said Iran’s “new potential leadership” has suggested it is open to talks with the US after American and Israeli forces launched a major attack against Tehran, killing the country’s supreme leader and other high-ranking officials.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said US President Donald Trump said he was “eventually” willing to talk, but that for now the military operation “continues unabated”.
