Iran is still being pounded by Israeli and American missiles as US President Donald Trump repeated his vow to erase the tyrannical regime.
A fresh wave of “significant” attacks targeted fuel storage compounds in Tehran used to feed its war machine.
Israelsaid the strikes were the latest effort to “deepen the damage to the military infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime" adding it will “continue to operate with determination in order to significantly degrade the regime's capabilities”.
President Trump said he has no interest in negotiating with Iran whose so-called Assembly of Experts, a cabal of 88 Islamic scholars all selected for their loyalty to the regime, met to elect a new leader one week after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, was assassinated at the start of Operation Epic Fury. An announcement is expected imminently.
Iran refers to the US as The Great Satan and President Trump suggested the war would only end once Tehran had no functioning military or remaining leadership in power, saying: "At some point I don't think there will be anybody left maybe to say 'We surrender’”.
Israel also doubled down on its promise to pursue the Iranian regime, issuing a chilling warning in which it said: "We want to tell you that the hand of the State of Israel will continue to pursue every successor and every person who seeks to appoint a successor.
"We warn all those who intend to participate in the successor selection meeting that we will not hesitate to target you either.”
Satellite data showed four oil facilities on the outskirts of Tehran were blown up with precision bombing that triggered huge explosions that ignited a “river of fire” through the capital.
Asked whether the US would send soldiers into Iraq President Trump said a deployment “would be a great thing” but added: “Right now, we're just decimating them.
“There would have to be a very good reason. I would say if we ever did that they would be so decimated that they wouldn’t be able to fight at the ground level.”
