Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump threatened toescalate the conflict, saying the US will strike Iran "very hard."

Here's what you need to know.

What are the main headlines?

• Trump signals escalation: Trump wrote "today Iran will be hit very hard" in a Saturday morning post on Truth Social. He also indicated that Washington would widen its targets in the country, saying certain areas and groups of people are now at risk of "complete destruction and certain death." In response to the warning, a senior Iranian official told CNN that Iran is looking for new US assets to strike.

• Iranian president's address: Pezeshkian gave a defiant speech on state media earlier Saturday, saying Iran would never surrender, as its military continued to trade strikes with Israel, and aim fire at a number of Gulf nations.

• Firm response: Iran has also pledged a "decisive" response to any aggression from US bases in the region, after President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to Arab Gulf nations and said Tehran would stop its attacks on neighboring states unless strikes against Iran originated from those countries' territories.

• 'Unconditional surrender': Pezeshkian's defiance came less than a day after Trump said there would be no deal with Iran except "unconditional surrender," but didn't lay out any specific demands. Trump also told CNN he's not concerned whether Iran becomes a democratic state, as long as the new leader treats the US and Israel well – contrasting with his previous calls for the Iranian public to "take over your government" and gain their "freedom."

• Fresh strikes: Israel and Iran have launched fresh strikes. Israel on Saturday deployed 80 jets to launch a "broad-scale wave of strikes" it said targeted military infrastructure in Iran. It comes after a heavy night of bombardment on Iran, with a Tehran resident describing recent attacks as "really intense."

• Fallen soldiers to return home: A dignified transfer for the six US service members killed so far in the conflict will take place at the Dover Air Force Base, in Delaware. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are expected to attend. Speaking from Florida beforehand, Trump said he intends to keep US deaths in the Iran war "to a minimum."

What's happening in Iran and Lebanon?

• Onslaught on Iran: Explosions were reported in the eastern and western parts of the capital with dramatic footage showing Tehran's Mehrabad airport on fire. Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency has accused Israel of striking the airport. CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment. The US has struck more than 3,000 targets inside Iran in the past week, according to US Central Command.

• Growing toll: So far the US-Israel attacks have killed more than 1,230 people in Iran, including children, according to Iranian state media.

• Calls for new leader: Several prominent clerics in Iran have urged the swift election of a new Supreme Leader, one week after the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes.

• Chaos and fear: Iranian residents have described living in constant terror, with streets deserted as people hide at home or flee their villages. The fear is amplified by an internet blackout – leaving many with no access to news or warning systems before the bombs come.

• Strikes on Lebanon: Nearly 300 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israel began strikes Monday, the Lebanese health ministry said. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Saturday warned Lebanese President Joseph Aoun that Lebanon will "pay the price" for failing to disarm Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group. Residents of the Lebanese village of Nabi Chit endured a "night of hell," one told Reuters, after Israeli commandos raided the border area hunting for the remains of a long-missing airman. Israel has issued sweeping evacuation orders for much of southern Lebanon and densely populated neighborhoods of Beirut.

• Mass displacement: Israel's far-reaching evacuation orders and strikes in Lebanon have displaced nearly half a million residents, the Norwegian Refugee Council estimated. Official figures suggest around 100,000 are in government shelters, but this is likely a fraction of the real figure.

What's happening in the rest of region?

• Gulf states under attack: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE saw fresh drone and missile attacks overnight on Friday into Saturday morning. Witnesses reported hearing a series of loud explosions in Bahrain late Saturday local time; it was not immediately clear whether they were caused by impacts or interceptions. Blasts were also heard in Abu Dhabi and Qatar late Saturday. Earlier, Dubai's international airport came under drone attack several times. Saudi Arabia's Defense ministry said 16 drones heading toward one of the largest oil fields in the Middle East, Shaybah, had been intercepted in the early hours of Saturday.

• Israel under fire: Iran and Lebanon are firing back at Israel with drones and missiles, with fragments falling in various parts of the country on Saturday. Israel repeatedly raised its air defenses and issued alerts to the public instructing residents to shelter in a safe place. And on Friday, eight Israeli soldiers were wounded by Hezbollah fire, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

• Dubai flights resume: Flights to and from Dubai resumed Saturday after a brief suspension, with Dubai Airports saying this was "for the safety of passengers, airport staff, and airline crew." Emirates said it would resume operations. Airports in the UAE are key nodes for connecting flights all over the world.

• Foreign investments reviewed: Some of Trump's oil-rich Gulf Arab allies are reviewing overseas investments as the war in Iran strains their economies, a Gulf official said, just months after the president secured trillions in investment pledges from the region. Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar collectively pledged to invest around $3 trillion in the US economy when Trump visited the region on his first foreign trip abroad last year. Any changes could put pressure on him to end the war.

• Kurdistan hotel: Hours after the US Embassy in Baghdad warned Americans to leave Iraq, saying that hotels in Iraqi Kurdistan could be targeted by pro-Iranian militias, a drone exploded near a hotel in Erbil. A pro-Iranian Islamist militant group claimed responsibility, warning American troops and contractors that it would continue to target hotels across the country.

Jack also opened up about a sweet moment that he shared with his dad afterOzzy's final show with Black Sabbath, which took place less than three weeks before his death.

"I was putting him to bed, and he was brushing his teeth or whatever, and he was looking at himself in the mirror, and he goes, 'I think I'm gonna cut my hair off.' I'm, like, 'Why?' And he's, like, 'I've retired. I'm not a rock star anymore,'" the "Dancing with the Stars" alum recalled.

"So I think about that, and I'm, like, 'Yeah, he was done. He was OK with his journey,'" Jack added.

While reflecting on Ozzy's final concert, Jack said his dad "was fired up" for the monumental moment.

Jack previously revealedthat he discovered his father diedfrom a person who had worked for his family for 30 years. The individual knocked on the door of his Los Angeles home at 3:45 a.m.

"And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it's like, 'He's gone. Just leave him."
