Israel-Iran War LIVE Updates: Trump Threatens 'Much more to follow', Requests $1.5 Defence Spending

The Israeli military announced that it conducted a wave of air strikes on Friday, targeting regime aerial defence sites. These included an IRGC aerial defence site that stored missiles intended to target aircraft.

The Israeli military also reported striking a military site responsible for protecting the regime’s weapons research and development facilities.

In addition, the statement noted that a site used for storing ballistic missiles was hit, along with further weapons production, research and development sites.

According to an Iraqi source speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic, one member of Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces was killed while another was injured during an assault on the group’s headquarters in the town of Al Qaim.

Previously, reports had emerged of an air strike targeting the headquarters of the PMF’s 34th Brigade located in Mosul.

The Popular Mobilisation Forces, referred to as Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic, operates as an official component of Iraq’s state security forces and includes several factions that maintain close ties with Iran.

On Saturday, the Israeli military reported that its air force conducted strikes on Friday against important infrastructure located in Iran's capital city.

The targets included storage facilities for anti-aircraft systems and ballistic missiles, along with sites involved in weapons manufacturing and research and development activities.

This information was shared directly in the official statement from the Israeli military.

Authorities in Dubai said the facades of two buildings were damaged by debris from intercepted drones, including one belonging to U.S. tech firm Oracle. No injuries were reported.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has threatened to attack Oracle and 17 other U.S. companies after accusing them of being involved in “terrorist espionage” operations in Iran.

Previous Iranian drone strikes caused damage to three Amazon Web Services facilities in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

A U.S. A-10 aircraft has been hit by Iranian air defenses, Iranian state media reported, citing Iran’s Army public relations office.

Earlier it was reported thatr that a second U.S. Air Force combat aircraft had gone down in the Middle East on Friday.

No other information was immediately known including the whereabouts of the pilot. The Pentagon and White House did not immediate comment.

The A-10, also known by the nickname Warthog, is a single-seat aircraft.

The Gulf nation of Bahrain, which holds the presidency of the U.N. Security Council this month, postponed the vote on a resolution aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz that had been watered down significantly because of opposition from Russia and China, two U.N. diplomats said.

The diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because council consultations have been private, said the vote will now be held sometime next week.

The Bahrain-sponsored draft resolution that had been expected to be put to a vote on Saturday would authorise defensive measures — not offensive action that Gulf nations and the United States initially supported — to ensure vessels can safely transit the waterway where one-fifth of the world’s oil typically passes.

Bahrain has sought support from all 15 council nations, and the postponement of the vote indicates that the watered-down draft is still not acceptable to Russia and China.
