US-Israel-Iran War LIVE: Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates all reported they intercepted missiles and drones on Saturday evening from Iran. The attacks underlined the limited powers exercised by theocracy’s leaders over the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which controls the ballistic missiles targeting Israel and other countries. Meanwhile, evidence suggests the deadly blast at an Iranian elementary school was likely a U.S. airstrike. The Feb. 28 strike produced the highest reported civilian death toll since the war began, prompting staunch criticism from the United Nations and human rights monitors. The U.S. has not accepted responsibility but said it was investigating the matter. At least 1,230 people in Iran, more than 290 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel have been killed, according to officials in those countries.
