Iran Retaliates with Missile Strikes Across Middle East

Following joint US-Israeli military operations, Iran launched a series of retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the Middle East. Targets included Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates===Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and US military bases, resulting in the deaths of three US personnel. The RAF's base in Cyprus, RAF Akrotiri, also came under drone attack, leading to the relocation of military families. The conflict escalated after the reported death of Iran's leader, Ali Khamenei, in the initial strikes. Concerns are growing that the conflict could spread further, as Iran's missiles have a range of 1,240 miles, potentially reaching Egypt and Turkey, both of which host US military facilities. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged British nationals in the region to register their presence and follow travel advice.
