Trump calls for Iran's 'unconditional surrender', tells Tehran to evacuate as air war rages on. Israel plans to destroy Fordow nuclear site.
The strikes followed Iran’s warning about a new area Israel could target, marking a significant turn in the six-day military campaign.
An investigation by The Associated Press earlier this year uncovered that the Israeli military uses U.S.-made AI models in war to sift through intelligence and intercept communications to learn the movements of its enemies. It’s been used in the wars with Hamas in Gaza and with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israel has inflicted heavy damage on Iran. Officials say at least 224 people have been killed in Israel’s air offensive and hundreds others wounded. On Monday, Israel ordered a neighborhood home to over 300,000 people in Tehran, the Iranian capital, to evacuate ahead of an expected bombing campaign.
Jonathan Conricus, a former IDF spokesperson, says Iran is "the weakest that I've ever seen it" after Israel's launch of Operation Rising Lion.
In Lebanon, which is still reeling from last year’s war between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group, videos making the rounds on social media have shown revelers dancing and drinking on rooftops while projectiles flash across the sky in the background.
Twenty-four hours later, Israel began attacking Iran. In one instant, Netanyahu’s political problems were swept away. No more ultra-Orthodox parties complaining about the military draft or far-right parties shouting about praying in the al-Aqsa compound. “The cards are in his hands. If they weren’t a week ago, they are now,” said the official.
Meanwhile Donald Trump says his early G7 exit has "nothing to do" with an Israel-Iran ceasefire, as fighting between the two nations enters a fifth day.
