DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — President Donald Trump on Friday appeared to rule out talks with Iran absent its "unconditional surrender." Israeli warplanes bombed Beirut and Tehran as Iran launched more retaliatory strikes against Israel and Gulf countries on the seventh day of the war.
The strikes in Lebanon were the heaviest since a 2024 ceasefire ended the last war between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah, who fired rockets at Israel in the opening days of the war now underway. More than 95,000 people have fled Beirut's suburbs and southern Lebanon after sweeping Israeli evacuation warnings.The U.S. and Israel have battered Iran with strikes, targeting their military capabilities, leadership and nuclear program. The stated goals and timelines for the war have repeatedly shifted, as the U.S. has at times suggested it seeks to topple Iran's government or elevate new leadership from within.The war has escalated to affect more than a dozen countries across the Middle East. London police said Friday that four men have been arrested on suspicion of aiding Iran by spying on the Jewish community. Iran has been linked to previous attacks abroad on Iranian dissidents, Israelis and Jewish targets.Qatar's energy minister warned that the war could "bring down the economies of the world," predicting a widespread shutdown of Gulf energy exports that could send oil to $150 a barrel. Saad al-Kaabi told the Financial Times newspaper that even if the war ended immediately it could take "weeks to months" to resume normal exports after an Iranian drone strike on Qatar's largest liquefied natural gas plant earlier in the war.In a social media post on Friday, Trump said that after Iran's surrender, "and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader," that the U.S. and its allies would help rebuild Iran, making it "economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before."Those comments were likely to raise further questions about the endgame of the war launched a week ago by the United States and Israel. The war has killed at least 1,230 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel, according to officials in those countries. Six U.S. troops have been killed.Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote on social media that "some countries" had begun mediation efforts in the conflict, without elaborating.On Thursday, Trump urged the Iranian people to "help take back your country,&qu
