What happened: Late Saturday night and into Sunday, the war expanded on multiple fronts. Israel launched fresh strikes on Lebanon. Kuwait's border guards died from an Iranian attack. And President Trump said the United States has zero interest in any kind of deal.

Israel Hits Lebanon Again — Targeting IRGC Officers

Israel renewed its assault on southern Lebanon in the early hours of Sunday, AP News reported.

This time, the Israeli military said it was specifically targeting commanders from Iran's Quds Force — the overseas arm of the Revolutionary Guard — who had set up positions in Lebanese territory.

The Israeli military stated: "We will not allow Iranian terrorist elements to establish themselves in Lebanese territory."

Israeli strikes killed at least 8 people in southern Lebanon, Lebanon's Health Ministry said. A drone also hit a hotel in Beirut, killing 4 and wounding 10 others.

Earlier Saturday, Israeli strikes had already killed at least 41 people in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. The combined Saturday toll was 47+ dead before the overnight strikes resumed.

Kuwait Border Guards Killed

Kuwait's government confirmed that two border guards were killed when a swarm of Iranian missiles and drones hit the country Saturday evening.

Kuwait's Interior Ministry said the guards were killed "while performing their national duty." No other details were given.

Kuwait is one of several Gulf countries that have been hit because they host US military bases and assets. Iran has argued that these bases are being used to bomb Iran.

This marks the first confirmed Gulf-nation military deaths of the war, confirmed by AP News.

Trump: "We're Not Looking to Settle"

Earlier Saturday, Iranian President Pezeshkian apologized to neighboring countries and said Iran would stop attacking them — a possible move toward de-escalation.

Trump dismissed it. He posted that Iran's president had "surrendered" to Gulf neighbors. Then he rejected any deal outright.

"We're not looking to settle," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. "They'd like to settle. We're not looking to settle."

Trump also threatened that more "areas and groups of people" would be targeted — without saying who or where. He called the ongoing US operations in Iran an "excursion."

He told reporters that issues like rising gas prices and safety concerns would improve once the conflict ends — though he gave no timeline.

Netanyahu: "Many Surprises" Coming

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu separately promised that the next phase of the war would bring "many surprises."

He did not explain what he meant.

The latest Israeli strikes in Lebanon followed Saturday's attack on a Tehran oil storage facility — the first civilian industrial target hit in the war. That facility supplies fuel to the Iranian capital and surrounding northern provinces. Iran's state media blamed the US and Israel for that strike.

Iran's Split Leadership — Still No Unified Voice

Iran's government remains divided. President Pezeshkian said Iran would stop hitting neighbors and called for diplomacy.

But Iran's judiciary chief — another member of the three-person leadership council running Iran since Supreme Leader Khamenei was killed on Day 1 — said attacks will continue. He argued Gulf countries are letting the US use their territory to bomb Iran.

Al Jazeera's analyst said clearly: "The IRGC is now in charge fully, and they will decide whether to attack or not." Politicians including the president have no control over military decisions, the analyst said.

Pezeshkian also rejected Trump's demand for unconditional surrender: "That's a dream that they should take to their grave."

Russia in the Background

The Washington Post reported Saturday that Russia has been passing Iran the locations of US military assets — including warships and aircraft — since the war began on February 28. Three US officials confirmed this to the Post.

The Pentagon did not deny it. Defense Secretary Hegseth said the US is "tracking everything" and called the report "not concerning."

Russia's Kremlin said there had been no request from Iran for direct military help.
