Morning recap Good morning Middle East Eye readers, US struck Iran for the seventh consecutive time overnight, with US Centcom claiming that US forces attacked Iranian surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage facilities and maritime assets. A top Iranian military official warned that if the US continues bombing Iran over the coming days, Tehran will launch “full-scale offensive operations” and “Iran will no longer limit itself to retaliatory responses”. Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks on US military facilities in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait.

Here are the latest developments: • IRGC warned countries hosting US military forces to prepare for a "corresponding response" and urged them to "activate their civil defence units to protect their citizens and move them away from potential military targets". • The Jordanian military said its air defences downed 10 Iranian missiles that breached the country’s airspace early on Saturday morning. • Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has termed the US strike on Hormozgan province, in which eight civilians were killed, as a “blatant war crime”.

• Kuwait Airlines says it has rescheduled most of the flights on Saturday after the country’s airspace was closed following Iranian attacks. • Gaza's civil defence agency and a hospital said eight people were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a funeral in the Al-Balata market area of Nuseirat refugee camp.
