Iran fires at neighbours as Trump vows more strikes

Iran launched waves of missile and drone attacks on its Gulf neighbours hosting US forces on Saturday and vowed no surrender despite threats from President Donald Trump to widen the conflict.
Israel and the United States pounded Iran again, with one air strike setting a Tehran airport ablaze, but Iran demonstrated that it retained the capacity to riposte militarily.
There were air raid warnings and blasts in Doha, Qatar, and two waves of attacks on the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in the early morning and again in the afternoon.
The UAE said its air defences intercepted 15 missiles and 119 drones on Saturday morning and video footage showed one projectile crashing into Dubai airport, the world's busiest for international traffic.
An explosion took place near planes parked in front of an airport building and close to a passing train, mobile phone footage authenticated by AFP showed.
'Evidence from Iran's armed forces shows that the geography of some countries in the region is openly and covertly at the disposal of the enemy,' said Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, Iran's judiciary chief.
'The heavy attacks on these targets will continue,' he said.
Earlier, President Masoud Pezeshkian had issued an apology to Iran's neighbours, which host major US military bases, while US media reports suggested Russia might be providing the Islamic republic with targeting intelligence.
Saudi Arabia said on Saturday it had intercepted a missile fired at an airbase housing US personnel, while Jordan accused Iran of 'targeting vital installations' inside the country over the last week.
Pezeshkian struck a defiant tone in a speech broadcast on state TV in which he also appeared to address Trump's demand on Friday for 'unconditional surrender'.
Iran's enemies 'must take their wish for the unconditional surrender of the Iranian people to their graves', Pezeshkian said.
AIR RAIDS
Fire and smoke billowed from Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport after a predawn attack in which Israel said it had destroyed 16 aircraft and fighter jets used by the security forces and military.
'Today Iran will be hit very hard!' Trump posted on his Truth Social media platform.
Now, in the second week, the war was sparked by joint Israeli and US air strikes last Saturday that killed Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
The conflict has since widened to Lebanon, as well as Cyprus, Türkiye and Azerbaijan, and reached as far as waters off Sri Lanka where US forces sank an Iranian warship with a torpedo.
Inside Iran, damage to infrastructure and residential buildings is mounting, while residents of the capital report growing anxiety and a heavy presence of security forces on the streets.
'I don't think anyone who hasn't experienced war would understand it,' a terrified 26-year-old teacher said on condition of anonymity. 'When you hear the bombs, you have no idea where they will hit.'
The Iranian health ministry put the civilian death toll at 926 on Friday, with around 6,000 injured - numbers that AFP could not independently verify.
Israel has also intensified its air strikes on Lebanon, repeatedly bombing and ordering the evacuation of Beirut's southern suburbs, where the Hezbollah holds sway.
With memories still fresh of Israel's devastation of Gaza, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Saturday that his country would pay a 'very heavy price' if it failed to disarm Hezbollah. SEE ALSO P6 and 7
