Iran fired a barrage of missiles and drones targeting a number of US allies across the Gulf on Friday, with particularly powerful blasts heard in Kuwait. Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were also attacked and missile alerts buzzed across Dubai for a second day.

Israel and the US continued their bombing campaign on Iran in a war that has killed more than 1,300 people there. More than 100 people in Lebanon have been killed in Israeli attacks against Iran-backed Hezbollah.
