Today

Available for over a year

Tehran has launched missile and drone attacks at US targets in Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain after American forces resumed strikes against Iran on Tuesday. US Central Command (Centcom) said US strikes on Iran followed "recent attempted attacks" by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and American forces in the region. Middle East Correspondent Yolande Knell says the situation seems to be "turning into a serious military escalation". Photo credit: PA
