Trump threatens ‘very hard’ strikes; Iran rejects surrender demand
President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Iran will never surrender after US President Donald Trump demanded “unconditional surrender,” as Tehran continues launching drones and missiles at targets in Israel and across the Gulf region.
As the conflict initiated by the United States and Israel enters its second week with no sign of easing, Trump has threatened Iran with “very hard” strikes. He also claimed that Iran had “surrendered” to its neighbouring countries after Pezeshkian said Iranian forces would not target regional states unless attacks against Iran originated from those territories.

However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that all US and Israeli military bases and interests would be treated as “primary targets” if attacks on Iran continue.
Meanwhile, at least 41 people were killed in Israeli air and ground attacks on the Lebanese town of Nabi Chit in the eastern Bekaa Valley.
Saudi Arabia said it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles fired toward Prince Sultan Air Base, along with drones heading for the Shaybah oilfield.
