Israel has struck the Iranian capital on the second day of its joint operation with the US. Meanwhile, Iran has been firing missiles at Israel and US military bases in the Middle East.

Israel and the US have launched heavy strikes on central Tehran, hitting key Iranian state sites and reportedly killing senior commanders. Iran has retaliated with missiles and drones targeting Israeli cities and US bases across the Gulf, causing explosions, disruptions and damage from Dubai to Doha. The region remains on edge as the conflict widens.
