Where has been hit? Iran retaliates across Middle East after US-Israel strikes

Multiple locations in Iran have been targeted by joint US-Israel strikes, and Tehran has launched retaliatory missiles across the region.

The Iranian cities hit include Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, Kermanshah, and Qom, according to Telegram posts from the country's Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Also targeted was the residence of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as the nation's intelligence ministry, its defence ministry, and its Atomic Energy Organization, Sky News understands.

Satellite imagery of the leader's compound, taken today, shows black smoke and extensive damage, with at least four buildings struck. An Iranian official said Khamenei was not there at the time.

According to the Iranian Health Ministry, more than 60 students were killed and 80 more injured in another strike at a girls' school in Minab, a city in Hormozgan province.

Now Iran has hit back, simultaneously striking four US bases across the Middle East.

These were Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Al Salem base in Kuwait, Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, and the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain.

The attack on the US Navy's Fifth Fleet centre was also reported by Bahraini state news agency BNA.

Sky correspondent Sally Lockwood further reports that a loud explosion had been heard in Dubai. Footage from different locations across the city showed where missiles had been intercepted in the skies overhead.

More video from social media showed a fire near the entrance of Dubai's Fairmont The Palm hotel, reportedly after debris fell from the sky during an Iranian missile attack.

At least one person has been killed in the UAE. Another four were killed in Syria, when a missile struck a building in the south of the country, the state-owned SANA news agency reported.

While in Kuwait, several employees at the nation's only commercial airport were injured by a drone, which also damaged Terminal 1, according to the country's Directorate General of Civil Aviation.

There have been no reported American casualties, two officials told our US partner NBC News.

The Revolutionary Guard said it considers "all US bases, resources, and interests in the region to be legitimate targets" for retaliation.

Sky News' Europe correspondent Alistair Bunkall has warned that the Tehran regime "will not roll over and will die fighting if needs be".

It comes after Donald Trump confirmed "major combat operations" against Iran in an eight-minute video on Truth Social.

The US president also urged the Iranian people to rise up against the ruling regime, saying: "When we are finished, take over your government, it will be yours to take".
