The US-Israeli war on Iran entered its sixth day with no signs of easing, as the Islamic Republic vowed to escalate its retaliation against American strikes.
Arab states across the Persian Gulf reported interceptions of Iranian missiles and drones overnight and into Thursday, while Israel carried out waves of airstrikes on Tehran, hitting military and intelligence assets.
President Donald Trump said the US was 'doing very well on the war front,' but Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said retaliatory attacks will intensify in coming days.
Turkey also came under fire on Wednesday, a first for a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization since the conflict began, with at least 1,100 people dead in Iran and dozens elsewhere in the region.
The possibility of a protracted war is roiling markets, with Brent oil rising past $84 a barrel and gold and silver extending gains amid concerns the conflict could be drawn out.
