Trump demands Iran’s 'unconditional surrender' as war widens
Newsy
Iran escalated attacks on Israel overnight as the conflict spreads across the region. President Donald Trump said the U.S. will accept nothing less than Iran’s “unconditional surrender.”
Iran escalated its assault on Israel overnight, the Israel Defense Forces said.
In a neighborhood north of Tel Aviv, an apartment building was struck by debris from a cluster munition that fell after Israeli forces intercepted an Iranian missile. The impact caused damage to the building, but no injuries were reported.
The attack underscores that despite large-scale strikes by the United States and Israel on Iranian targets, Tehran still retains the capability to launch missiles that can cause damage.
The conflict has expanded across several fronts. One of the U.S. military’s goals has been to cripple Iran’s naval forces. U.S. officials say American forces have destroyed about 30 Iranian naval vessels since the fighting began.
The war is also pulling other countries into the conflict. Israel has carried out strikes in Beirut, saying it is targeting Iranian-backed militias in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Iran has launched attacks on U.S. interests across the region, including locations in Gulf states.
