Let's go now to special correspondent Reza Seya in Tehran. Reza joins us on the phone.

Reza now this third straight day of U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran, just give us a sense of what you're seeing and what you're hearing on the ground there.

As I'm talking to you right now, I'm hearing the unnerving sound of jet fighters flying over Tehran

and massive earth-shaking explosions. They started around 12 midnight local time, and they've

continued for the next 90 minutes. So again, multiple explosions in what sounds like anti-aircraft. And one other thing that I need to point out is around 1.30 a.m., the Internet access was cut off. And that's kind of unusual. When this war started, the government cut off the internet. There was only access to the

Day two, they were either destroyed or severely damaged.

I went to a cafe across from the police station,

talked to a patron there who was there during the airstrike.

He was smoking a hookah when the missiles hit.

He showed me some gruesome video of a fellow patron with his head

severed. And he described what sounded like a double-tap strike, where he said the initial strike

wasn't much, wasn't much of an explosion. A few minutes later, massive explosion. And that gives you an idea

of the cycle of violence we're experiencing.

Professor, let me ask you about what we've heard from U.S. officials, because President

Trump claimed yesterday that Tehran had reached out to talk and to negotiate today, he warned of a quote-unquote big wave of
