Iran has launched attacks throughout the Middle East, in response to US and Israeli strikes across its territory
Apparent Iranian attacks have been reported in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, Kuwait – places with US military bases, or that are allied to the US – and elsewhere
In Bahrain, where the US has a major naval base, the moment of an apparent Iranian missile attack was filmed from a car
The attacks came after the US and Israel launched attacks across Iran – Israel says “several senior figures” from the Iran regime have been “eliminated”. At least 53 people were killed at a girls’ school, Iranian state media reports
Donald Trump said “major combat operations” were under way, and urged Iranians to “take over” the government. Satellite images show damage at the Iranian supreme leader’s compound
The US and Israel think the Iranian regime is vulnerable, writes our international editor Jeremy Bowen, and believe this is an opportunity not to be squandered
Meanwhile, UK PM Keir Starmer says British planes “are in the sky today” in the Middle East “as part of co-ordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests and our allies”
