Blasts are heard over Jerusalem as new strikes are reported in the Iranian capital Tehran

Iranian state television has confirmed that four salvos of missiles were fired in quick succession, writes our BBC  correspondent in Jerusalem

Elsewhere in the region, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain both say they have intercepted and destroyed drones

An Iranian man in Karaj tells the BBC he fears "nothing will be left of Iran besides burnt land"

Iran's foreign minister earlier warned that Tehran would act with "zero restraint" if there were further attacks on its infrastructure

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel "acted alone" in strikes on Iran's South Pars, part of the world's largest natural gas field. He added Trump was not "dragged" into the war with Iran - here's the context

Meanwhile, the price of gas has risen sharply in the UK and Europe following an attack on Qatar's Ras Laffan energy complex, which Qatar's PM calls a "very dangerous escalation by the Iranians"

For those just joining our live coverage, sirens have sounded in Jerusalem amid Eid celebrations after booms were heard above the city

Fresh strikes have also been reported in Tehran, Iran's capital city - Iran's foreign minister had earlier warned that there would be "ZERO restraint" if Iranian infrastructure was struck again, following yesterday's attacks on the South Pars gas field

The energy crisis has continued to be a key topic of discussion, as prices continue to soar around the globe - the Strait of Hormuz remains at a standstill, but the chair of the International Maritime Organisation has told the BBC that he is confident that negotiations to re-open the channel will start soon

A couple of hours ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference, where he said that "Israel acted alone" in regards to the attack on the Iranian gas field

He also explicitly stated the three goals of the US-Israeli operation in Iran - to remove the nuclear threat from Iran, eliminate the ballistic-missile threat, and create conditions that enable Iranians to "grasp their freedom"
