From BBC News.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said today would be the "most intense" day of US strikes on Iran.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the war won’t end until Iran’s "complete and unconditional surrender" and when President Donald Trump determines his objectives have been met.

Trump has also warned Iran against deploying naval mines in the strategic shipping route linking the Gulf to the Arabian Sea after reports emerged that plans were under way to do so.

Meanwhile, people in Tehran have told the BBC of the impact of US-Israeli strikes, saying, "They hit hard last night."
