This blog is closing now but we’re continuing our live coverage of the US-Israel war on Iran in a new live blog here, including a recap of the latest key developments. Thanks for reading.

More here on those latest strikes: the Israeli military said it launched them on “regime targets” in Tehran early on Saturday, after reporting several rounds of Iranian missile fire at Israel.

The Israel Defence Forces said on Saturday it was “striking Iranian terror regime targets in Tehran” after an earlier air raid targeted the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah in Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.

There were no immediate details on the outcome of the strikes, Agence France-Presse reports.

The military earlier said it had “identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the state of Israel” at least three times within six hours.

Air raid sirens sounded across large parts of Israel, according to the military’s home front command, and there were no reports of casualties.

The Israeli military said earlier that recent strikes on Tehran had targeted ballistic missile sites.

The IDF will continue to deepen the degradation of the Iranian regime’s fire array.

Tehran has come under near daily bombardment since the joint US-Israeli attack that started the war on 28 February.
