TEHRAN, March 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Israel announced a new wave of "broad-scale" strikes on Tehran on Saturday as US President Donald Trump said only Iran's unconditional surrender would bring an end to the escalating Middle East war. The Israeli military said early Saturday that it had launched a "broad-scale wave of strikes" on government targets in Tehran. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Israel of targeting them, and French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the attack as "unacceptable." Tehran was pummeled by Israeli strikes on Friday, which AFP journalists described as among the heaviest days of bombardments yet. According to Iran's health ministry, the US and Israeli strikes have killed 926 people, a number AFP could not independently verify.
