Sixth consecutive day of Israeli–Iran air conflict: Iran launched two missile barrages, including its first use of the Fattah‑1 hypersonic missile, targeting Israel. Explosions were reported over Tel Aviv, and Israel conducted strikes near Tehran, hitting IRGC-linked sites. Civilians in Tehran’s District 18 were urged to evacuate ahead of the air raids. Former US President Trump called for “unconditional surrender” from Iran, warning that US patience is “wearing thin,” and hinted the U.S. knows Ayatollah Khamenei’s location but “won’t kill him…for now.” The US is deploying additional fighter jets. Iranian leadership, including Reza Pahlavi, responded defiantly, while speculation grows that Trump may join Israeli strikes. (PC: Reuters)
