Fighting between the US and Iran has escalated. Aerial bombardment of Iran by the US was followed by Iranian drone attacks on US allies. Details of the US strikes are limited, but it is known that one strike had devastating consequences for a wedding party.

The US had previously hit Iranian rocket launchers, prompting Iranian retaliation with missiles aimed at American bases. These missiles were intercepted.

Further information on the developing situation is available, including the latest on the conflict and its wider impact.
