A fresh wave of explosions rattled major cities across the Gulf on Monday, including Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, as Iran intensified its missile campaign following the killing of its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced what they described as a “large-scale" attack, marking the third consecutive day of strikes in response to US-Israeli air raids on Iranian cities.
Loud blasts were heard across the Qatari capital Doha, Bahrain’s capital Manama and the United Arab Emirates’ most populous city. In Bahrain, the interior ministry confirmed that one person was killed in the latest round of Iranian strikes, news agency AFP reported.
Explosions were also heard in Jerusalem after the Israeli military said it had identified missiles launched from Iran, triggering air raid sirens. Blasts were reported in Tel Aviv as well.
The latest strikes came as Tehran pressed into a third day of strikes against Gulf neighbours in response to US-Israeli air raids that killed Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials. Tehran has vowed revenge and expanded its strikes to include Israel and Gulf states hosting US military assets.
