Trump says Iran is being ‘beaten to hell’ as he demands unconditional surrender

• Donald Trump stated that Iran is being “beaten to hell” and warned it “will be hit hard today”, also threatening “complete destruction and certain death” for new targets after calling for “unconditional surrender”.
• Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian dismissed the US surrender demand as a “dream” and apologised for attacks on regional countries, promising to cease them. He made the statement in a pre-recorded address aired by Iranian state television on Saturday morning.
• Trump, meanwhile claimed that Iran's decision to halt strikes was a direct result of “the relentless US and Israeli attack.”
• The statements followed explosions at Tehran’s Mehrabad airport, with video footage showing a burning plane and plumes of smoke.
• Mehrabad airport is Iran's busiest commercial and main domestic hub, also serving the Iranian air force.
