Tehran: The United States and Israel have intensified their military actions against Iran, with recent strikes focusing on oil storage depots and refining facilities in Tehran. This marks the first time such sites in the capital have been targeted, resulting in significant fires across the city.
According to United News of Bangladesh, US President Donald Trump reiterated his demand for Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender.’ He stated that the conflict would persist until Iran’s leadership concedes or its military capabilities are rendered ineffective. In response, senior Iranian official Ali Larijani warned that the United States would face repercussions for initiating the war and suggested that Washington’s strategic goals remain unmet.
The situation escalated further with new strikes lighting up the Tehran night. Israel has issued a stark warning, indicating that ‘many surprises’ are yet to come. In a related development, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates reported experiencing fresh Iranian strikes. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has since apologized and committed to halting attacks on Gulf nations if they refrain from launching assaults on Iran from their territories.
