Live: Iran says attacks on neighbours to stop unless hit from there

US President Donald Trump said US strikes had destroyed 42 Iranian naval vessels and much of Iran’s air power and telecommunications systems.

He also said US strikes had targeted facilities linked to Iran’s nuclear programme.

The Israeli military has said it destroyed 16 aircraft belonging to the Quds Force, the overseas arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in overnight strikes on Iran.

The army said it had carried out a "broad wave of attacks" across the Iranian capital. 

The Quds Force is tasked with carrying out operations beyond Iran's borders.

More than 50,000 protesters marched through central London in opposition to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

The march was organised by a coalition of groups, including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

Demonstrators marched from Millbank to the US embassy in Vauxhall on Saturday afternoon.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has targeted a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf.

In a statement, the IRGC said: "An oil tanker with the trade name ‘Louise P’ with the flag of the Marshall Islands, one of the assets of the terrorist America, was hit by a drone in the middle of the Persian Gulf."

The British maritime safety organisation has said it is investigating a report of a maritime incident 10 nautical miles (18.5km) north of Jubail in Saudi Arabia.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has spoken by phone with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

During the call, Erdogan said more could be done to encourage a diplomatic solution to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to the Turkish government.

Erdogan added that Turkey was monitoring the situation in Iran and said that its peace efforts were ongoing.

He warned that the US-Israeli attacks could cause great damage to global stability.

Three US Air Force B-1 Lancer bombers have landed at the Royal Air Force Fairford base in Gloucestershire, southern England, as the Pentagon prepares for a new "surge" in strikes against Iran.

A B-1 bomber arrived at the British airbase on Friday evening, with two more landing on Saturday morning. Gloucestershire is expected to see a further stream of US aircraft arriving in the coming week.

B-1 bombers cost up to $2bn each and can carry 24 cruise missiles, allowing them to execute long-range missions without detection.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday that the US would use British bases to "dramatically" increase its strikes on Iran.

The number of people killed in Israeli air and ground attacks on the town of Nabi Chit in Lebanon's eastern Beqaa Valley has risen to 41, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

The ministry added that a further 40 people were injured.

The Israeli military has issued a forced displacement order for some residents in the coastal city of Tyre in Lebanon.

In a statement, it said six buildings it plans to strike belong to Hezbollah.

US President Donald Trump has threatened that Iran "will be hit very hard" in a statement posted on his Truth Social platform.

Trump said Iran has "surrendered" to its Middle East neighbours after the Iranian government declared it would not attack them unless their territory was used to launch attacks on Iran.

He argued that "this promise was only made because of the relentless US and Israeli attack" and vowed further strikes on Iran.

"Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time," he wrote

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has launched a drone attack on the Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, according to the Iranian Tasnim news agency.

The report said a US satellite communication centre was hit, along with early-warning and fire-control radars.

The UAE government has yet to comment. 

Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, held a phone call on Friday evening with Kuwait's minister of defence, Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al Salem Al Sabah.

The Kuwaiti government said the conversation focused on military and defence cooperation.

Flights to London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Frankfurt are expected to take off on Saturday.

Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest for international traffic, has announced it is partially resuming services.

Operations were suspended earlier on Saturday after the airport was struck by a drone.

The source of the drone was not immediately clear.

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates from the US-Israeli war on Iran, now in its eighth day:

• Israel and the United States continued bombing Iran overnight, with air strikes reported in Tehran and Isfahan on Saturday.

• According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, the US and Israel have so far targeted 6,668 civilian facilities across the country, including 5,535 residential units, 1,041 commercial units, 14 medical centres, 65 schools, and 13 centres affiliated with the Iranian Red Crescent.

• Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologised to “neighbouring countries” on Saturday and said a temporary leadership council had decided to suspend attacks against them, unless Iran itself was attacked from their territory.

• Shortly afterwards, explosions were reported in Qatar and the UAE. In Dubai, Dubai International Airport was struck by a drone, temporarily suspending flights. The source of the drone was not immediately clear.

• In Lebanon, Israeli commandos attempted an airborne operation in the eastern Bekaa Valley, apparently aimed at retrieving the remains of Ron Arad, an Israeli Air Force weapon systems officer who went missing in Lebanon in 1986.

• Hezbollah said the attempt was repelled by its fighters, with heavy clashes and air strikes reported in the area overnight. Lebanon’s health ministry said at least 16 people were killed in the fighting.

At least 12 people were killed and 33 wounded in Israeli air raids on the town of Nabi Chit in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The strikes come amid escalating cross-border fighting linked to the wider regional conflict.

Lebanese officials say more than 200 people have been killed in the country since the conflict began, while about 95,000 have been displaced.

In recent days, the Israeli military has issued large-scale evacuation orders for parts of southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs, triggering a mass exodus of civilians.
