Iran Rejects Trump, Warns of US Base Attacks
Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian rejected Trump's demand to give up without conditions. He called the demand a dream.
Pezeshkian apologized to nearby Gulf states for Iranian strikes. This was rare for Iran.
He also pledged to halt strikes against Gulf countries. Hours after the apology, Iran warned it will hit United States bases in the Middle East. Trump warned the United States could target more senior Iranian leaders.
