On the battlefield, the skies over Tehran lit up again overnight into Sunday with fresh explosions. US and Israeli forces expanded their bombardment of Iran late Saturday, including with strikes on fuel depots near Tehran, as Iran vowed to continue retaliatory strikes and to make the nation"s enemies "pay the price" for attacking it, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

　　Al Jazeera highlighted that it marked a first of US-Israeli attack against the energy facilities in the Iranian capital.

　　In retaliation for the attacks, Iran"s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has launched a new wave of retaliatory strikes against Israel and US assets in the Middle East, according to Iranian state media, Al Jazeera reported.

　　Kuwait"s army said Sunday the country"s air defense systems responded to missile and drone attacks. The IRGC said its forces targeted Al-Adiri airbase in Kuwait with drones and missiles, according to the Fars news agency.

　　The report quoted IRGC as saying that it destroyed US helicopter repair centers, fuel tanks and command center.

　　Later on Sunday, the IRGC announced that it had launched the 28th wave of the Operation True Promise 4 against American and Israeli targets in the region, hitting targets including Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan - described as the largest and most active US offensive fighter base, reported Mehr news agency.

　　Viewed by many observers as a quite surprising development, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, in a pre-recorded address broadcast on state television, delivered a rare and unusual conciliatory message on Saturday. "I must apologize on my own behalf and on behalf of Iran to the neighboring countries that were attacked by Iran," he said.

　　Pezeshkian said Iran"s temporary leadership council had approved suspending attacks on nearby countries unless an assault on Iran originated from those states, per The Guardian.
