Trump to Iran: “Surrender Unconditionally”

As the Israel-Iran air conflict enters its fifth day, tensions escalate rapidly. U.S. President Donald Trump called on Iran to “surrender unconditionally” and claimed they know the location of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — but won’t target him “for now.” His remarks come alongside the deployment of U.S. warplanes to the region.

Israel says it has struck multiple missile bases in Tehran, while Iran claims to have launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel. The death toll has reached 224 in Iran and 24 in Israel.

Iran’s nuclear program is back in the spotlight. Israel announced it hit the Natanz facility; the IAEA has confirmed the attack. Global oil markets remain jittery as energy infrastructure continues to be targeted.
