Iranian Officers Reportedly Desert Posts as Trump Demands Iran's Unconditional Surrender

Iranian military officers have reportedly abandoned their barracks, leaving conscripted soldiers behind amid confusion following Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death in an Israeli airstrike on a Tehran bunker, according to Iran International. U.S. President Donald Trump publicly demanded Iran's unconditional surrender, explicitly ruling out any negotiations with Tehran as Israeli and American strikes continue across Iran. Ten Israelis have been killed and at least 1,473 wounded by ballistic missile attacks, while six U.S. soldiers have also been killed since the operation began.
