Iranian media claims Mojtaba Khamenei has been elected Supreme Leader. Qatar intercepts Iranian missile, blasts heard in Jerusalem, UAE denies war role, and US arranges evacuation flights.

U.S. and Israeli military forces attacked Iran on Feb. 28. The country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the attack. Officials from the United States and Israel said they have launched over 1,200 strikes aimed at destroying Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear development programs.

Top U.S. commander in region says Tehran's ability to strike is declining

The U.S. and Israel have offered different reasons for the latest war in Iran, which has widened as Iran and allied armed groups retaliate across the region.

The Pentagon and Middle Eastern countries say that most of the drones have been intercepted. But some have slipped through and caused damage.

Cooper said American forces had destroyed 17 Iranian ships, effectively sinking the country's navy. He added that the current focus of operations is on "shooting all the things that can shoot at us," signalling a shift toward neutralising Iran's remaining offensive capabilities.

The US embassy in Saudi Arabia has been hit by an Iranian drone strike. The American mission in Riyadh was targeted by two drones in the early hours of Tuesday, where a loud blast was heard alongside flames and black smoke billowing into the air.

There has been no official confirmation from US or Emirati authorities on the cause of the explosions or the reported damage.
