There have been massive explosions in Tehran's Mahrabad airport, the capital's main hub for domestic flights, U.S. and Israeli air strikes have pounded areas across the country. Both nations say they're only targeting government and military installations of homes, hospitals, schools, and historic landmarks have also been severely damaged. Donald Trump says there would be no deal with Iran, except unconditional surrender. U.S. and Israeli strikes have killed more than 1,300 Iranians since last week. Israel has been hit with another barrage of Iranian missiles. Israeli government says air defense systems worked overnight to intercept them. The Trump administration has approved a new $151 million emergency arm sale to Israel.
At least 11 people have been killed in Israel since the conflict began. In Lebanon at least three people have been killed in armed confrontations between and has Balan Israeli soldiers in the Bakaar Valley, that's along the border with Syria. Hasbalal says Israeli Army helicopters infiltrated Lebanon through the border with Syria. Israel has been bombing areas across Lebanon since Monday, forcibly displacing tens of thousands of people. Iran is continuing to target Gulf nations hosting U.S. troops. Saudi Arabia says it's intercepted and destroyed drones, heading for its vast Shaba oilfield. As well as missiles launched at a base and hosting American forces. The UAE Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iran have all been targeted in the past few days. When Qatar Airways has resumed limited repatriation flights,
there'll be the first flights out of the country more than a week. After Qatar closed its airspace following Iranian attacks. And Reuters news agency is saying the U.S. is asking Sri Lanka not to repatriate Iranian crew and survivors from a destroyed warship. The U.S. submarine torpedoed the warship of Sri Lanka's coast earlier this week. More than 80 people were killed. Coming up on the take, how will two years of AI fuel genocide in Palestine shape the war on Iran? That's the take by Al Jazeera. Find it wherever you get your podcasts.
