The Israel-Iran conflict intensified on its sixth day, with 585 killed in Iran and 24 in Israel amid relentless airstrikes. Iran launched over 400 missiles at Israel, including a Fattah-1 hypersonic missile targeting Tel Aviv. Explosions rocked both cities as Israel struck back near Tehran. President Donald Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and warned Ayatollah Khamenei, while the US deployed more jets to the Middle East. Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei vowed “no mercy” and called for retaliation. Over 3,800 Israelis were evacuated, with 19,000 property damage claims filed. Opposition leader Reza Pahlavi claimed Khamenei has “gone into hiding.” (PC: Reuters)
