Ammon News - The war in Iran entered its second week on Saturday as explosions echoed across Iran’s capital, Tehran, Saturday morning as new airstrikes hit the city.

The strikes appeared to target downtown Tehran and government buildings there.

Israel said over 80 fighter jets participated in the latest wave of strikes on Iran on Saturday.

The strikes targeted an underground compound used for storing ballistic missiles and housing command centers from where the army said “senior officials of the Iranian regime” were operating.

Targets also included launch sites in central and western Iran, the army said.

As for Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike flattened a residential building in southern Lebanon, killing at least six people early Saturday, the country’s state-run news agency reported.

The dead from the strike in Jibchit town included four from the same family, the National News Agency said.

The Lebanese Health Ministry earlier reported at least 16 killed and 35 wounded in overnight Israeli airstrikes in the mountain town of Nabi Chit.

For his part, U.S. President Donald Trump demanded Tehran's "unconditional surrender" and Israel traded attacks with Iran and Lebanon.
Trump's ​comments came hours after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian posted on social media that unnamed countries had begun mediation efforts, briefly raising hopes of a resolution a week after the U.S. ‌and Israel launched strikes on Iran.

"There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Friday.

The U.S.-Israeli attacks have ​killed at least 1,332 Iranian civilians and wounded thousands, according to Iran's U.N. ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani. Iranian attacks have killed 11 people in Israel, and at least ⁠six U.S. service members have been killed.

Early on Saturday missiles were seen flying towards Israel as the Israeli military said it had identified missiles launched from Iran towards Israel. Explosions could be heard as Israeli defences activated ​to shoot down incoming Iranian fire.

Tehran's Mehrabad Airport was struck, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. There was no immediate comment from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.
