đ¨ YESTERDAY IRANs PRESIDENT APOLOGISED TO HIS NEIGHBOURS, BUT KEPT ON ATTACKING THEM
Iran war â Day 8. Here are the 10 Latest Updates You Should Probably KnowâŚ
1. Trump posted four words this morning that signaled pure escalation.
On Truth Social, Saturday: âToday Iran will be hit very hard!â
He also warned that certain areas and groups inside Iran are now under consideration for âcomplete destruction and certain death.â
He didnât lay out specific demands. Just escalation.
Day 8. And itâs getting worse â not better.
2. Tehranâs main airport is on fire.
Israel deployed 80 fighter jets in a broad-scale wave of strikes Saturday morning. Tehranâs Mehrabad International Airport â one of the cityâs two main airports â was hit.
The Israeli Air Force confirmed it struck 16 Iranian military aircraft there. Dramatic footage showed the airport engulfed in flames.

This is a civilian airport. In a capital city. On fire.
3. For the first time, US and Israel struck Iranâs oil storage and refineries.
US and Israeli forces hit oil storage depots and refining facilities in Tehran for the first time Saturday, sparking large fires across the capital
Theyâre no longer just targeting missiles and radar.

My rich dad always said: âWhen they start hitting the money infrastructure â thatâs when wars get decided.â
4. Iranâs president apologised to his neighbours. Then kept attacking them.
Pezeshkian delivered a televised apology to neighbouring Gulf nations and promised Iran would stop strikes on them â unless attacks on Iran originated from their territories.
Within hours, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE all reported fresh drone and missile attacks.

7. Qatarâs Energy Minister issued a stark global warning.
Qatarâs Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi told the Financial Times that Gulf energy exports could halt âwithin weeksâ if the war continues.
