Explosions lit up the skies over Tehran late Saturday as the US-Israel war on Iran entered its second week, with President Donald Trump signaling even tougher strikes this weekend.
According to multiple reports, fresh US and Israeli airstrikes targeted oil storage facilities and fuel depots near the Iranian capital — the first time civil industrial sites have been hit. Pillars of fire were visible across the city as Iran’s regime scrambled to respond.
Trump posted on Truth Social: “Iran will be hit very hard… Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment.” He has demanded “unconditional surrender” from Tehran and refused to rule out sending US ground troops.
Iran named Mojtaba Khamenei — son of the slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — as the new leader early Monday in a move to show continuity amid the chaos. The war began on February 28 when joint US-Israeli strikes killed the elder Khamenei and dozens of top officials.
On the American side, the Pentagon confirmed the death of a seventh US service member, bringing the total American fatalities to seven since the conflict started. Iran has launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks on Israel and Gulf states, while mixed messages from Iranian officials suggest internal rifts.
The conflict, which Trump says is aimed at destroying Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, has already caused at least 1,300 deaths in Iran and sent oil prices surging. Trump insists the operation is going “unbelievably good” and could last several more weeks.
Americans are searching Google in record numbers for answers: “Why did Trump bomb Iran?” and “Why are we at war with Iran?”
