Iran has been hit by a series of US and Israeli airstrikes over the weekend as the two countries’ leaders called for the Iranian people to overthrow the regime.

The attacks, which are part of what the US has called Operation Epic Fury, killed Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in his Tehran compound, as well as dozens of senior Iranian officials.

The aerial assault triggered retaliatory strikes by Iran on multiple countries in the Middle East as the regime vowed revenge.

It has fired drones and missiles at Israel and US military installations around the Gulf, as well as the tourism and business hub of Dubai.

So what has happened and where?

Iran

Iranian authorities say more than 200 people have been killed since the start of the US and Israeli strikes on Saturday.

Donald Trump has told Fox News that 48 leaders in Iran have been killed, and said on his Truth Social platform that nine Iranian naval ships have been destroyed and sunk.

The American military said an Iranian Jamaran-class corvette was struck by US forces at Chabahar in the Gulf of Oman during the start of the operation.

Israel said it killed 40 top Iranian military officials, including defence minister Amir Nasirzadeh and Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour.

Iranian state media said an alleged strike on an all-girls school in the southern city of Minab on Saturday killed at least 165.

But the Israeli military said it was not aware of any Israeli or American strikes in the area of the school.

The Israeli military also said its planes have been carrying out strikes to open the “path to Tehran”, and the majority of aerial defence systems in western and ‌central Iran had been dismantled.

A spokesperson said ​many targets remained, including sites of military-industrial production.

Israel

At least nine people have been killed in Israel after a synagogue was hit by a strike in the central town of Beit Shemesh, according to authorities.

Another 28 people were wounded in the attack.

In Tel Aviv, loud explosions caused by missile strikes or interceptions could be heard.

United States

Three American service members have been killed and five have been seriously injured in military operations targeting Iran, the US military says. It did not identify the service members.

But Sky’s US partner NBC News reported two US officials said the deadly attack happened in Kuwait.

United Arab Emirates

As Iran targeted the wider Gulf area, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said on Sunday that three people had been killed so far in Iranian attacks on the country.

The defence ministry said Iran had launched 165 ballistic missiles targeting the nation, of which 152 were destroyed. Thirteen fell into the sea, it added.

Iran launched 541 bomb-carrying drones at the UAE, of which 506 were destroyed.

Shrapnel from Iranian attacks on the Emirates’ capital of Abu Dhabi killed two people, state media said.

In Dubai, two ⁠people were injured after shrapnel from drones fell over two houses when they were intercepted, a Dubai state media office statement said.

Dubai’s international airport, its ‌landmark Burj Al Arab hotel and the Fairmont The Palm hotel on Palm Jumeirah Island all suffered damage, as did Abu Dhabi’s international airport.

Kuwait

Kuwait’s health ministry said on Sunday that one person has been killed and 20 people have been wounded in retaliatory attacks by Iran.

A dozen people were injured in Kuwait in previous attacks on Saturday.

The Kuwaiti defence ministry said Iran had fired 97 ballistic missiles and 283 drones towards the country.

Bahrain

Bahrain said a missile attack targeted the US Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters, and three buildings were damaged in the capital, Manama, and Muharraq city.

The UK’s Defence Secretary John Healey said Iranian missile and drone strikes came within a few hundred metres of a group of 300 British military personnel in Bahrain.

Oman

A projectile hit the Marshall Islands-flagged ‌product tanker MKD VYOM, ​killing a crew member on board as ​the vessel ‌sailed off the coast ​of Oman, V.Ships – the company managing the vessel – has said.

Also in Oman, Iran struck the port of Duqm, which has been used by the US Navy as a logistical hub and is capable of hosting aircraft carriers.

Strait of Hormuz

The strategic Strait of Hormuz sees a fifth of the world’s traded oil pass through it, making it a crucial trading route on Iran’s southern border.

Oman says an oil tanker, a Palau-flagged vessel called Skylight, came under attack in the strait, wounding four mariners on board, the state-run Oman News Agency said.

A vessel off Mina Saqr in the UAE was hit by a projectile that caused a fire, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations centre.

The blaze was extinguished and the vessel was set to continue on its way.

A vessel in the strait off Iran also came under attack after Iranian officials reportedly threatened vessels transiting the strait over the radio.

In a sign of disruption to energy supplies, at least 150 tankers including crude oil and liquefied natural gas vessels
dropped anchor in open Gulf waters ​beyond the Strait of Hormuz.

And dozens more were stationary on the other side of the chokepoint, shipping data showed.

Cyprus

Mr Healey also said that two missiles were fired in the direction of Cyprus, where the UK has bases. “We don’t believe they were targeted at Cyprus,” he said.

Jordan

Jordan said it “dealt with” 49 drones and ballistic missiles.

Pakistan

At least nine people were killed in clashes between protesters and police after hundreds of people stormed the US consulate in the port city of Karachi.

Police and officials said at least 25 people were also wounded and some of them are in a critical condition. Police said the protesters were later dispersed and the situation was under control.
