On Saturday, Israel Defence Ministry stated that it had launched pre-emptive strikes to warn against any offensive from Tehran, while US President Donald Trump confirmed a “major combat operation” in Iran. Explosions were also heard in Kuwait, the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi and a missile was intercepted by Qatari missile defence.
