"The US and Israel have continued large-scale strikes on Iran and struck oil storage depots and refining facilities for the first time in the country. Late on Saturday, local media captured footage of a massive fire raging at the Shehran oil depot on the outskirts of Tehran. The Israeli military claimed responsibility for striking fuel storage and related sites it alleges are affiliated with the Iranian armed forces."
"Iran has said the US will pay for waging war and continued its retaliatory strikes on Israel and US military assets in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, despite Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian promising on Saturday to halt attacks on Gulf states as long as their territories were not used to attack Iran."
"President Donald Trump continued with his demand for an unconditional surrender from Iran. Late on Saturday, he stated that the war would continue for a little while but stressed that Washington was not looking to settle with Tehran."
The US and Israel have intensified military operations against Iran on day nine of the conflict, striking oil storage depots and refining facilities for the first time, including the Shehran oil depot near Tehran. Over 1,332 people have been killed since attacks began on February 28. Iran has continued retaliatory strikes on US military assets across the Gulf region, including Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, despite Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's Saturday promise to halt attacks on Gulf states if their territories aren't used against Iran. President Trump demands Iran's unconditional surrender and states the war will continue. Iran confirms the Strait of Hormuz remains open but threatens to target US and Israeli vessels. The conflict has expanded beyond Israel to encompass Lebanon, Iraq, and the broader Gulf region.
