The conflict between Iran and Israel shows no sign of de-escalation and US President Donald Trump is calling for Iran’s "unconditional surrender".
The president took to Truth Social to say he knew where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was "hiding", but would not kill him "for now".
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded on X: "We will show the Zionists no mercy."
Meanwhile, Australians stranded in Israel and Iran are desperate to leave as the conflict intensifies.
