Iran's president rejected a demand by the United States for an unconditional surrender on Saturday and apologized for Iran's attacks on regional countries, as Israel and the United States kept up their airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic.
Gulf countries say they have intercepted more ballistic missiles and drones launched from Iran.
Saudi Arabia said it stopped four drones attacking the country's massive Shaybah oil field, the second attack within hours. Flights in and out of Dubai International Airport were interrupted after passengers were ushered down into train tunnels as several blasts were heard and the alert sounded.
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes hammered Beirut and Tehran. Death toll continued to rise Saturday with at least 1,230 people killed in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel, according to officials. Six U.S. troops were reported killed.
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration approved a new $151 million arms sale to Israel after Trump said he would not negotiate with Iran without its "unconditional surrender."

3 Lebanese troops among dead in clashes with Israeli troops in Bekaa Valley
Three Lebanese troops were killed in an Israeli military operation to gather information on a pilot who has been missing in Lebanon for almost 40 years, Lebanon's military said Saturday.

It was not immediately clear whether the troops were among 16 dead reported earlier by the Health Ministry.

Interception over Dubai
Authorities there say there was an interception over the city-state in the United Arab Emirates.
People heard several blasts in the morning. Later the government's Dubai Media Office said there was "a minor incident resulting from the fall of debris after an interception has been successfully contained."
Flights heading to Dubai International Airport - which is the world's busiest for international travel and has been trying to restart service - circled a distance away just before the interception.
Qatar analyst calls Iran attacks on Gulf Arabs a 'miscalculation of historic proportions'
Writing for the Qatar-funded news network Al Jazeera, Sultan al-Khulaifi of the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies said Gulf Arab states "watched with dread" as the U.S. and Israel launched the war with Iran and they had "invested enormous diplomatic capital in preventing precisely this moment."
"That Iran's response has been to turn its missiles on these same neighbors is not only a strategic miscalculation of historic proportions, but is also a profound moral and legal failure that risks poisoning relations for generations to come," he wrote.
He also argued that "the strategic logic Iran is operating on - that attacking Gulf states will pressure Washington to end the war - is not only flawed in practice, it actively serves Israeli interests."
"By spreading the conflict to the Gulf, Tehran is doing precisely what Israel could not do alone: steering the war away from the Israeli-Iranian axis and transforming it into a confrontation between Iran and its Arab neighbors."
Saudi and Pakistani defense officials meet in Riyadh
The defense minister of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan's army chief met Saturday to discuss "ways to stop these attacks" from Iran, the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported.
"During the meeting, they discussed Iranian attacks on the kingdom within the framework of the Joint Strategic Defense Agreement between the two brotherly countries, and ways to stop these attacks, which do not serve the security and stability of the region," the agency said.
There was no immediate word from Pakistan, a neighbor of Iran that so far has not been drawn into the spreading war.
In September, after Israel attacked Hamas officials in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan signed a mutual defense pact that defines any attack on either nation as an attack on both. Pakistan's defense minister later said his nation's nuclear program "will be made available" to Saudi Arabia if needed under the pact.
