Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

How has Iran responded?

Israel's military says it has identified missiles launched towards Israel by Iran, saying it is working to "intercept and strike threats where necessary".

Explosions have been heard in the city of Haifa and elsewhere in Israel, but it is not currently clear if these were impacts or interceptions.

Elsewhere in the region, Bahrain's state news agency reported the service centre of the US Navy 5th Fleet, which is in Bahrain, has been "subjected to a missile attack".

This came after Bahrain's interior ministry said emergency sirens had been sounded, and urged residents to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.

Qatar's defence ministry said it "successfully countered a number of attacks targeting the country's territory", state media reported, after explosions were heard in the capital Doha.

The country is home to the largest US military facility in the region, Al Udeid Air Base.

Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates condemned Iran's attack on its territory, which they say killed one person after falling debris from their air defence intercepts. They added that several missiles were successfully intercepted.

Israelis have been warned against gatherings and going to school and work unless it is essential. The guidance is in effect until Monday 20:00, authorities have said.

Israel's airspace is also closed to civilian flights, according to Israeli media.
