The Israeli army carried out a new wave of attacks on the Iranian capital, triggering fires and thick clouds of smoke over the city. Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, warned that attacks on Israel and American military objects would continue unless American bases in the region are closed.
According to Iranian Ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Irrani, at least 1,348 civilians have been killed in attacks since the beginning of the conflict.
Iran has issued fears and missiles to Gulf countries hosting American bases. Bahrejni announced that he was intercepting 114 rockets and 190 fears, while Saudi Arabia brought down dozens of fears over its territory. The United Arab Emirates reported hits at Dubai International Airport and several hotel facilities.
In the US, President Donald Trump said operations against Iran are under way very soon, while over 250 American organisations have urged Congress to stop funding the war.
Meanwhile, tensions have also spread in Iraq and Lebanon. An American supplier crashed in Iraq, while Israeli bombings in southern Lebanon have left hundreds of victims and forced hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes. /Periscope
