Iran rejects Trump's call for unconditional surrender

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender, calling the U.S. complicit in Israel’s attacks. The rejection came amid intensified Israeli airstrikes on Tehran, prompting Turkey to tighten border security. Khamenei warned that any U.S. military intervention would cause irreparable damage, while the U.N. ambassador Ali Bahreini echoed that the U.S. was directly involved in attacks against Iran. The situation heightened tensions as Trump considered joining Israel in strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and Iran threatened to restrict access to the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Israeli forces urged residents to leave parts of the capital for safety as 50 jets struck around 20 targets, and sirens warned of potential Iranian retaliatory missile strikes.
