Iranian Supreme Leader's office reportedly hit in strikes
Numerous explosions have been heard in Tehran and number of cities across Iran.
The office of Iran’s Supreme Leader and the presidential office in Tehran were also reportedly targeted.
Military sites have been targeted in Kermanshah, Qum, Isfahan, Tabriz, Karaj and as well as at Iranian naval facilities in Kenarak in the south of the country. A video we have received from the small city of Kamyaran in Kurdish region, shows an IRGC base is bombed.
The Israeli Defence Force warned Iranian civilians to evacuate areas near military sites and installations ahead of the strikes.
There are images from Tehran shows that a residence in Narmak neighbourhood of Tehran, where former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lives, has been hit. It is not clear whether the former president is hurt.
The Iranian interior ministry said the security forces are ready to keep the situation calm and many hospitals across the country are on standby.
UAE says one person killed by debris after Iranian missiles interceptedpublished at 12:38
The defence ministry of the United Arab Emirates says in a statement that the country has been subjected to a “a blatant attack involving Iranian ballistic missiles”.
"UAE air defence systems dealt with the missiles with high efficiency and successfully intercepted a number of missiles," it adds.
However, the ministry says debris fell on a residential area in Abu Dhabi, causing some material damage and killing a civilian with Asian nationality, who it does not name.
It condemns the attack as “dangerous escalation” and “cowardly act”, and stresses that the UAE “reserves its full right to respond".
The US Air Force operates from Al Dhafra Air Base, south of Abu Dhabi, along with the UAE Air Force.
US President Donald Trump has said his main concern is “freedom” for the Iranian people, and that the US is working to make Iran a place that’s “safe.”
“All I want is freedom for the people,” Trump has told the Washington Post, speaking with the newspaper in a brief phone call just after 04:00 local time (09:00 GMT) on Saturday.
Pressed by the Post on what he hoped the legacy of the military operation would be, he says: “I want a safe nation, and that’s what we’re going to have.”
