Israel-Iran air war enters sixth day, Trump calls for Iran‘s ‘unconditional surrender'
Iran and Israel launched new missile strikes at each other on Wednesday as the air war between the two longtime enemies entered a sixth day despite a call from US President Donald Trump for Tehran's unconditional surrender.
The Israeli military said two barrages of Iranian missiles were launched towards Israel in the first two hours on Wednesday morning. Explosions were heard over Tel Aviv.
Israel told residents in a southwestern area of Tehran to evacuate so its air force could strike Iranian military installations. Iranian news websites said Israel was attacking a university linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the east of the capital.
Iranian news websites said Israel was also attacking a university linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the country's east, and the Khojir ballistic missile facility near Tehran, which was also targeted by Israeli air strikes last October.
The US office of the director of national intelligence said Iran is armed with the largest number of ballistic missiles in the Middle East. Iran has said its ballistic missiles are an important deterrent and retaliatory force against the US, Israel and other potential regional targets.
Trump warned on social media on Tuesday that US patience was wearing thin. While he said there was no intention to kill Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei 'for now', his comments suggested a more aggressive stance towards Iran as he weighs whether to deepen US involvement.

Former Iranian minister calls for Iranian control over Strait of Hormuz
Former Iranian economy minister Ehsan Khandouzi says tankers and liquefied natural gas cargoes should only transit the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian permission and the policy should be carried out from 'tomorrow for 100 days'. It was not immediately clear whether Khandouzi was echoing a plan under the Iranian establishment's consideration or sharing his personal opinion. Tehran has long used the threat of blocking the narrow waterway as a means to ward off Western pressure without acting on its threats. The stakes have risen since Israel launched an air war on Iran last week after concluding the latter was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon. Iran maintains its nuclear programme is purely for civilian purposes. 'The policy [of controlling maritime transit in the Strait] is decisive if implemented on time. Any delay in carrying it out means prolonging war inside the country,' Khandouzi posted on X on Tuesday. Iran's oil ministry and foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Khandouzi was economy minister until last year in the cabinet of late president Ebrahim Raisi and remains close to the Iranian establishment's hardliners. The Strait of Hormuz lies between Oman and Iran and is the primary export route for Gulf producers such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and Kuwait. About 20% of the world's daily oil consumption — around 18 million barrels — passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is only about 33km wide at its narrowest point.

Trump to extend TikTok sale deadline for third time, says White House
US President Donald Trump will extend a June 19 deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of short video app TikTok for 90 days despite a law that mandated a sale or shutdown absent significant progress, the White House said on Tuesday. Trump had already twice granted a reprieve from enforcement of a congressionally mandated ban on TikTok that was supposed to take effect in January. "President Trump will sign an additional executive order this week to keep TikTok up and running," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday. That would extend the deadline to mid-September. "President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark," she added, saying the administration will spend the next three months making sure the sale closes so that Americans can keep using TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure. Trump said in May he would extend the June 19 deadline after the app helped him with young voters in the 2024 election.

Iran will respond firmly if US becomes directly involved in Israeli strikes, says UN ambassador
Iran has conveyed to Washington that it will respond firmly to the US if it becomes directly involved in Israel's military campaign, the Iranian ambassador to the UN in Geneva said on Wednesday. Ali Bahreini told reporters he saw the US as 'complicit in what Israel is doing'. Iran would set a red line and respond if the US crosses it, he said, without specifying what actions would provoke a response. Israel launched an air war on Friday after saying it had concluded Iran was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon. Iran has denied seeking nuclear weapons. US President Donald Trump called on Tuesday for Iran's 'unconditional surrender'. Bahreini called Trump's remarks 'completely unwarranted and very hostile. We cannot ignore them. We are vigilant about what Trump is saying. We will put it in our calculations and assessments.' The US has so far taken only indirect actions, including helping to shoot down missiles fired towards Israel. It is deploying more fighter aircraft to the Middle East and extending the deployment of other warplanes, three US officials said. 'I am confident we [Iran's military] will react strongly, proportionally and appropriately. We are closely following the level of involvement in the US. We will react whenever it is needed,' added Bahreini. Thousands of people were fleeing Tehran and other major cities on Wednesday, Iranian media reported, as Iran and Israel launched new missile strikes at each other.
