We’re in the first few days of an escalating war in Iran… The UAE defence ministry says it’s responding to more Iranian missile and drone threats. Explosions were reported in Qatar and Bahrain. Azerbaijan says it’s preparing “retaliatory measures” after being attacked by two Iranian drones. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he will send four fighter jets to Qatar to strengthen defensive operations. Trump himself said the war could last weeks.
