Iran's Kayhan newspaper, which is closely linked with the office of Iran's supreme leader, says the U.S.

must withdraw all of its troops from the Middle East and dismantle military bases in the region if it wants the war to end.

Earlier this week, Iran's military command quickly rejected a 15-point U.S.

proposal countering with demands of its own, including that the U.S.

stop assassinations of Iranian leaders, pay Iran war reparations for damages in the war so far, and ensure that it will never attack Iran again.

Iran's parliament is also tabling a symbolic bill that would allow Iran to collect fees from ships amounting to possibly millions of dollars in exchange for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Residents managing to overcome Iran's internet blackout sent videos to Iranian diaspora websites showing strikes hitting several steel and cement factories all over Iran overnight Saturday, including in southern Iran as well as central Isfahan.

Iran has been firing back in retaliation against Israel, hitting Tel Aviv, and against neighboring countries in the Gulf.

Bahrain and the UAE said they intercepted Iranian drones.
