Lebanon fears increased Israeli strikes as war enters second week

Explosions rocked Tehran on Saturday as the conflict in the Middle East entered its second week. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to neighboring Gulf countries for recent attacks, saying Iran would not target them unless strikes were launched from their territory. He also rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for what he called Iran’s unconditional surrender, insisting the country would never capitulate. CGTN correspondent Adel Mahrouky says the statement has brought relief to countries in the region, though concerns remain that Israel could shift its military focus toward Lebanon. #Iran #war #Lebanon #Israel
