Qatar's Defence Ministry claimed it successfully shot down two Iranian fighter aircraft. The Qatari defence systems also intercepted seven ballistic missiles and five drones.

The US and Israel pounded targets across Iran, bombing the country's ballistic missile sites and wiping out fighter jets and warships.

US shares video of bombing and reveals 3 US F-15 jets crashed in Kuwait due to 'friendly fire'.

More than 550 people have been killed since the start of the strikes that killed the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior leaders.

Iran retaliated by firing missiles and drones at Israel and US military installations around the Gulf, and also at the Saudi capital and the global business hub of Dubai.
