US-Israeli strikes pound Tehran as Trump demands surrender

A week into the US-Israeli war on Iran, massive strikes have hit Tehran including near a primary school, while Iranian missiles have flown over Tel Aviv and Iran has retaliated with strikes across Gulf energy infrastructure. Trump has ruled out any deal short of "unconditional surrender" and the White House says the campaign will last four to six weeks. Airwars, a war monitoring group, reports the opening days have "hit significantly more targets than any campaign in recent decades."
