Conflict escalated in the Middle East overnight and early Saturday, following Iran's widespread retaliatory attacks. US President Donald Trump stated on Friday he would no longer negotiate, demanding 'unconditional surrender' from Iran. The Israeli military launched its own strikes across Tehran, with footage showing Mehrabad Airport on fire. Meanwhile, the UK confirmed additional British helicopters, fighter jets, and a destroyer were deploying to the region.
