The United States and Israel have continued their strikes on Iran, targeting oil storage depots and refining facilities in Tehran for the first time and triggering large fires across the capital.

US President Donald Trump has again called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender”, saying the war will only end when Tehran’s leaders “cry uncle” or when the country’s military becomes incapable of operating.

Senior Iranian official Ali Larijani warned that the United States would pay a price for launching the war and claimed Washington was failing to achieve its objectives.

Meanwhile, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates reported fresh Iranian strikes after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologised and pledged to stop attacks on Gulf states if no assaults were launched against Iran from their territories.
