Iran's Revolutionary Guards vowed on Sunday to target Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war with Israel and the United States continues.
"If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force," said the Guards on their website Sepah News.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview published on Sunday that the war pitting his country against the United States and Israel will only end when Tehran can be certain it will not be restarted.
"This war will end when we are certain it will not be repeated and that reparations will be paid. We experienced this last year: Israel attacked, then the United States... they regrouped and attacked us again," Araghchi told Arabic-language news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, referring to Iran's war with Israel and the US in June 2025.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged other countries on Sunday to refrain from any action that could widen the scope of the war with Israel and the United States.
In a phone call with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, Araghchi called on other countries to "refrain from any action that could lead to escalation and expansion of the conflict", according to an Iranian foreign ministry statement.
His remarks came after US President Donald Trump called for other nations' warships to help protect world oil supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been virtually blocked by the threat of Iranian attacks.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump urged other nations to help secure a vital shipping lane choked off by the war with Iran that showed no signs of slowing, as strikes hit the US embassy in Baghdad and a major Emirati energy facility.
Two weeks after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, the entire Gulf region remained in the grip of a conflict that has sent shockwaves through the global economy.
The war has also spilled into Lebanon, where the health ministry says Israeli strikes have killed hundreds as Israel battles the Tehran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
Oil prices have surged 40 percent as Iran has choked off the vital Strait of Hormuz and attacked Gulf energy facilities.
Clouds of black smoke rose over Fujairah, home to a major Emirati oil storage and export terminal, AFP journalists saw, shortly after Iran's military warned UAE civilians to avoid port areas.
Washington's embassy in Iraq was hit by a drone, security sources told AFP -- the second such strike during the war -- while the Emirati consulate in Iraqi Kurdistan was targeted for the second time in a week.
US officials in Baghdad urged citizens to "leave now," but warned them not to approach the embassy or the consulate in Erbil "in light of the ongoing risk of missiles, drones, and rockets in Iraqi airspace."
In Kuwait, a drone strike damaged the international airport's radar system but caused no injuries, the civil aviation authority said.
After earlier vowing that the US Navy would "very soon" begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump called for reinforcements on Saturday.
"Many countries... will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe," he posted on social media, saying China, France, Japan, South Korea and Britain would "hopefully" be among them.
He later said that although the United States had "beaten" Iran, countries dependent on the strait for oil "must take care of that passage, and we will help."
Iran had warned that US-linked oil and energy firms would be "turned into a pile of ashes" if struck, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi repeating the threat and accusing Washington of firing rockets at Kharg from bases in the UAE.
Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said the war was entering a "decisive phase," though he cautioned it would "continue as long as necessary."
Despite facing superior US and Israeli firepower, Iran appeared determined to fight on.
AFP journalists heard blasts over Jerusalem after the military detected missiles launched from Iran on Saturday. Tehran later confirmed firing another salvo.
Qatar evacuated parts of downtown Doha and intercepted two missiles, with blasts heard by AFP journalists.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IGRC) said late Saturday they had launched missiles at US forces stationed at the Al-Kharj base in Saudi Arabia.
US media reported that the Pentagon has dispatched the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli and around 2,500 Marines to the region.
In Iran, leaders appeared intent on projecting stability despite the killing of supreme leader Ali Khamenei on the war's opening day.
Donald Trump warned that he is not ready to seek a deal to end the war with Iran, as US ally Israel launched a new wave of strikes Sunday and Tehran's Revolutionary Guards threatened to hunt down and kill the Israeli leader.
The US president, in an interview with NBC News, said he thought Tehran was keen to come to the table but that Washington would fight on for better terms and might bomb targets on Iran's oil hub Kharg Island once, again, "just for fun".
More than two weeks into the US-Israeli war against the Islamic republic, neither side is moderating its rhetoric despite a mounting death toll and economic damage from soaring oil prices caused by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz sea lane.
"Iran wants to make a deal, and I don't want to make it because the terms aren't good enough yet," Trump told NBC News, warning that US forces would step up strikes on the Iranian coast north of the strait to clear a path for oil shipments to resume.
Bahrain and Saudi Arabia said separately on Sunday they had intercepted renewed barrages of projectiles after an AFP journalist heard warning sirens in Manama.
Late Saturday, authorities in Dubai also said air defences had made further interceptions after Iran's military warned UAE civilians to avoid port areas.
US forces struck Iran's Kharg Island on Friday -- from which nearly all of Iran's oil exports flow -- but both sides confirmed that the strikes only took out military defences and left the oil export terminals intact.
More than 1,200 people have been killed by US and Israeli strikes, according to Iranian health ministry figures that could not be independently verified.
The UN refugee agency says up to 3.2 million people have been displaced in Iran, most of them fleeing the capital and other cities to seek safety. The Pentagon says more than 15,000 targets in Iran have been hit by US and Israeli forces. US media reported that the Pentagon has dispatched the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli and around 2,500 Marines to the region.
Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have arrested at least 20 people in the country's northwest on suspicion of cooperating with Israel, local media reported on Sunday, more than two weeks into the Middle East war.
The arrests took place during raids on networks linked to Israel in the West Azerbaijan province, the Fars news agency said, quoting provincial prosecutor Hossein Majidi.
"Twenty people were arrested and detained" after they were found to be "sending details of military, law enforcement and security locations to the Zionist enemy", it added.
Authorities have carried out sweeping raids across Iran, arresting in recent days hundreds of people suspected of cooperating with Israel and the United States, local media reported.
The conflict began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sparking Iranian retaliation.
On Sunday, the official IRNA news agency reported the arrest of a person it said was sending information to the London-based TV channel Iran International.
The report, which quoted the police commander of the northern Qazvin province, said the individual was using a Starlink terminal, a technology that is banned in Iran.
Iran has been digitally sealed off from the rest of the world by a complete internet blackout since the start of the Middle East war.
To get around those restrictions, some Iranians have turned to Starlink terminals from the US company SpaceX, which connect to the internet via satellites.
In January, Iran banned cooperation with Iran International, saying it was "affiliated with the Zionist regime".
Hezbollah fired 'advanced missile' at Israeli air base south of Tel Aviv
Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah said its fighters targeted an Israeli air base south of Tel Aviv on Sunday, as Israel has kept up strikes on Lebanon.
In a statement, Hezbollah said it targeted the Palmachim air base, around 140 kilometres (85 miles) from the Lebanese-Israeli border, with "an advanced missile", after claiming several other attacks on sites in northern Israel and on Israeli troops in Lebanon near the frontier.
Lebanon's health ministry said on Sunday that Israeli attacks have killed 850 people in the country during two weeks of war between Israel and Hezbollah. The ministry statement said the toll included 66 women, 107 children and 32 health workers, with 2,105 other people wounded.
Hamas official killed in Israel strike in south Lebanon's Sidon
An Israeli strike in south Lebanon's Sidon area early Sunday killed a Hamas official, a source from the Palestinian militant group told AFP.
The source, requesting anonymity, said the strike killed Hamas official Wissam Taha, after state media earlier reported a strike on an apartment in a residential building in a northern district of Sidon. The coastal city is home to Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp, which Israel has previously struck in recent months, saying it was targeting Hamas.
