00:00The US has warned Iran that the worst is yet to come as fresh Israeli strikes hit Tehran overnight.
00:11Protesters across Europe gather to express support for the Iranian people amid the ongoing war with the US and Israel.
00:20Nine people have been killed in Russian strikes across Ukraine as the world shifts its attention towards the war in
00:28Iran.
00:31Israeli warplanes lit up the skies over Tehran in the early hours of Saturday as the United States warned Iran
00:39that the worst is still to come.
00:41The White House has approved a 129 million arms sale to Israel after Donald Trump said Washington would not negotiate
00:49with Iran unless it agrees to quote an unconditional surrender.
00:54Since the conflict began, the United States and Israel have launched a series of strikes on Iran, targeting its military
01:01capabilities, senior leadership and nuclear program.
01:05Meanwhile, Iran fired another wave of retaliatory missiles on Friday, striking Israel and several Gulf countries that host US forces.
01:16Speaking on state television on Saturday, Iran's president rejected Washington's demand for unconditional surrender, calling it quote, a dream they
01:25should take to their grave.
01:27He also apologized for Iran's attacks on regional countries, saying Tehran would halt them and suggesting they were the result
01:35of a breakdown in communication within Iran's military ranks.
01:42An Iranian drone attacked near the main terminals of Dubai International Airport temporarily suspended operations this morning.

02:00Euronews correspondent Lily Dows was actually on board an Emirates flight on the tarmac ready to depart when the attack
02:08happened.
02:08She was evacuated to a safe space underground in the main terminal with her fellow passengers.
02:15Now, this comes as the Iranian Interim Leadership Council just yesterday said they would not attack neighboring countries unless they
02:23were attacked by them first.
02:25Now, the public alert warnings have been ringing out across the UAE and also in Qatar this morning as people
02:33were advised to take cover.
02:35And obviously, the governments are continuing to manage and monitor the situation.
02:40Jane Witherspoon, Euronews in Dubai.

02:57Many demonstrators voiced support for the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last Shah,
03:04who presents himself as an alternative after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli-American strike.
03:11Paris saw two demonstrations, one supporting Pahlavi and another denouncing that scenario.
03:18Pro-Pahlavi participants carried photos of the late Shah's son and waved U.S.-Israeli and pre-revolution Iran flags.
