Israel-Iran live: Iran issues threat to UK, France and US if they help Israel stop strikes; '60 killed' in Tehran
IDF: 'The way to Iran has been paved'
Some remarks to bring you now from the IDF.
The chiefs of the General Staff and Air Force said this morning the way to Iran "has been paved".
Speaking in this morning's assessment of the situation, the military said it is proceeding "according to its operational plans".
Fighters jets are set to resume strikes in Tehran, it added.
Iran warns it will hit UK ships and bases if they defend Israel
Iran has warned the UK, US and France not to help Israel stop its strikes on the country.
Tehran said they will target ships and bases belonging to the three countries in the region if they do not step back.
That's according to comments reported by Iranian state media.
Israeli attacks likely to unite Iranian people behind leaders, says former British diplomat
It's unlikely Iran's population will want to see regime change as a result of Israeli attacks.
That's the view of Lord Ricketts, a former British diplomat who served as the UK's first national security adviser between 2010 ad 2012.
While the regime is "very unpopular" in Iran, he said the immediate impact of Israel's strikes may boost those in power.
"Clearly, Netanyahu and many people in Israel would love to see the back of the mullahs and the ayatollahs, and they are very unpopular in Iran," he said.
"My question is, would they want to see the regime change because of this attack from Israel? I rather doubt that.
"I think the short-term effect will be rather to bring the population behind the leaders in the circumstances of a massive attack on the country in that time."

The Israel Fire and Rescue Services have said the strike "caused significant damage" and ten firefighting teams are on site. In pictures: Rescue teams in northern Israel Rescue teams are at the scene of a residential building in northern Israel that was hit after missiles were fired from Iran.

It said Iran will fire further missiles if Israeli strikes continue. IDF: Sirens activated after strikes from Iran and Yemen The IDF have said sirens have been activated in the country after strikes from both Iran and Yemen. The military says it has identified missiles launched from Yemen towards Israel and is working on intercepting it. New barrage of Iranian missiles hits Israel Israel has said a new barrage of Iranian missiles have been fired towards Israel. Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat, the IDF has said. "The military has instructed residents to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice," the IDF has said. "Leaving the protected space is only permitted following an explicit directive." People in northern and central Israel told to stay near shelters Israel's military has instructed residents in northern and central Israel to remain close to protected spaces. "Movement in public areas should be minimised, and public gatherings must be avoided," the IDF has said. "Upon receiving an alert, enter a protected space and remain there until an official update is issued." Iran threatens 'heavier and extensive' strikes if Israeli action continues Iran's Revolutionary Guards have said the country has hit facilities for fighter jet fuel production in Israel, according to Reuters. They have also warned that Iran's attacks "will become heavier and more extensive" if Israel continues with its action. As we have been reporting tonight, Israel and Iran launched fresh attacks on each other, stoking fears of a wider conflict. Watch: Explosions over Jerusalem Iran has launched a second round of missiles against Israel this evening while Israel's military has kept up attacks in Tehran. Both Israel's military and Iran state television announced the latest round of strikes as explosions were heard. It comes as world leaders made urgent calls to de-escalate and avoid all-out war. The clip below shows some of the latest scenes emerging from Jerusalem tonight... Starmer: This needs to de-escalate We reported earlier on comments made by Sir Keir Starmer who said the UK would be moving jets to the Middle East. Here are a few more comments the prime minister has made today. On what to expect from the G7 when it came to Israel and Iran, Starmer told reporters there would be "intense discussions" at every level. "As I set out yesterday, we do have long-standing concerns about the nuclear program Iran has," he said. "We do recognise Israel's right to self defence, but I'm absolutely clear that this needs to de-escalate. There is a huge risk of escalation for the region. "More widely in terms of conflict, you can see the impact already on the economy and oil prices. And of course, all of this is linked to what's going on in Gaza. So you can see why my strong position is this needs to de-escalate, and that is the primary focus of the discussions that I've been having and will continue to be." What do we know right now? Iran has fired another round of missiles at Israel and Israel's military is striking targets in Tehran.

Tehran threatens UK as Starmer scrambles RAF: Prime Minister sends jets to the Middle East as war rages between Iran and Israel - and refuses to rule out further British action
Britain last night ordered military reinforcements to be sent to the Middle East as war raged between Iran and Israel – despite bloodcurdling warnings from Tehran not to meddle in the conflict. Sir Keir Starmer ordered the deployment of fast jets and refuelling aircraft from UK bases to bolster UK forces just hours after Iran's state-owned Mehr news agency had warned: 'Any country that participates in repelling Iranian attacks on Israel will be subject to Iranian forces targeting all regional bases of the complicit government'. But Israel, in turn, vowed that unless Iran's missile blitz was halted: 'Tehran will burn'. Speaking to reporters en route to the G7 summit in Canada, the Prime Minister refused to rule out taking further steps in a 'fast-moving' and 'intense' security situation. He said: 'I will always make the right decisions for the UK and our allies. We are moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support in the region. I will be clear-eyed in relation to our duties and obligations and my duties as Prime Minister.' Asked if the UK would help Israel stop the attacks, he replied: 'These are obviously operational decisions and the situation is ongoing and developing'. Britain already has fighter jets in the Middle East as part of an operation to counter threats in Iraq and Syria. Sir Keir's announcement came as Iran and Israel continued to trade missiles and airstrikes yesterday, a day after Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a devastating air offensive aimed at smashing Tehran's nuclear weapons programme. Israeli hit more than 400 targets in the past 24 hours as part of Operation Rising Lion, including dozens of missile sites and air defence systems in Tehran. They killed more than 20 army and Revolutionary Guards commanders, including armed forces chief Mohammad Bagheri amd and intelligence chief Gholamreza Mehrabi. Tel Aviv also claimed nine nuclear scientists were among the dead. And around 60 people, including 20 children, were reportedly killed in an attack on a housing complex in Tehran, according to Iranian state TV. Meanwhile, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and US president Donald Trump discussed the hostilities in a 50-minute phone call, with Putin condemning the Israeli attacks. Mr Netanyahu said the strikes had set back Iran's nuclear programme by years but he rejected international calls for restraint, saying attacks would intensify. 'We will hit every site and every target of the Ayatollahs' regime, and what they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days,' said the Israeli Prime Minister. 'We have paved a path to Tehran. In the very near future, you will see Israeli planes, the Israeli air force, our pilots, over the skies of Tehran.' Last night, it was also reported that Ali Shamkhani, Iran's top adviser to its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, died in hospital a day after being wounded in the first night of Israeli airstrikes. Shamkhani had previously served as Iran's top national security official for a decade and was seen as a rising star of Iranian diplomacy, having represented Iran in talks which sealed a landmark agreement to restore diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia. In a statement, Israel's military said: 'Since the beginning of the operation [on Friday], over 20 commanders in the Iranian regime's security apparatus have been eliminated.' The targets also included Iran's Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites, where Israel claimed nine senior scientists were killed. An Israeli official said it would take more than a few weeks for Iran to repair the damage at the two sites. Iran later responded by saying only three of its scientists had been killed. They were named by Tasnim, the semi-official news agency, as Ali Bakaei Karimi, Mansour Asgari and Saeid Borji. Across Israel, air raid sirens sent residents into shelters as waves of missiles streaked across the sky and interceptors rose to meet them. At least three people were killed overnight. An Israeli official said Iran had fired around 200 ballistic missiles in four waves. The wounded included Croatia's consul in Israel and his wife, who suffered only minor injuries. Defence minister Israel Katz warned: 'The Iranian dictator [Ayatollah Khamenei] is taking the citizens of Iran hostage, bringing about a reality in which they, and especially Tehran's residents, will pay a heavy price for the flagrant harm inflicted upon Israel's citizens. If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn'. Mr Trump applauded Israel's strikes and warned that much worse was to come unless Iran quickly accepted the sharp downgrading of its nuclear programme. Mr Netanyahu sent effusive 79th birthday wishes to Mr Trump, saying: 'You've been an extraordinary leader, decisive, courageous, with a clear vision and clear action. You have done great things for Israel.' He added that Israel was striking a blow for the free world, saying: 'Our enemy is your enemy and what we're doing, we're dealing with something that will threaten all of us sooner or later. Our victory will be your victory.' Gulf Arab states that have long mistrusted Iran but fear coming under attack in any wider conflict have urged calm. Meanwhile, worries about disruption to the region's crucial oil exports caused the price of crude oil to soar. Those fears intensified yesterday when Iranian general Esmail Kosari said Iran was reviewing whether to close the Strait of Hormuz, the exit point for oil shipped from the Gulf. Tehran insists its nuclear programme is entirely civilian in line with its obligations under a nuclear non-proliferation treaty and that it does not seek an atomic bomb. But, it has repeatedly hidden some parts from international inspectors, and on Thursday it was judged to be in violation of the treaty. Sir Keir Starmer told reporters there would be 'intense discussions' about the Middle Eastern conflict at the annual G7 gathering of world leaders this said he had had a 'good and constructive discussion' with Mr Netanyahu on Friday over the 'safety and security of Israel, as you would expect, between two allies'. Meanwhile Foreign Secretary David Lammy has spoken to his Iranian counterpart to urge calm. Sir Keir said: 'We do have long-standing concerns about the nuclear programme Iran has. 'We do recognise Israel's right to self-defence, but I'm absolutely clear that this needs to de-escalate. That's the primary focus.' Shipping blockade will hit petrol prices By Calum Muirhead The conflict between Israel and Iran could push petrol prices up for British drivers if the Islamic Republic acts on its threats to block a key global shipping lane. Iran is considering closing the 30-mile-wide Strait of Hormuz, which links the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea, in retaliation against Israel's attacks, according to Iranian parliamentarian Esmail Kosari. The strait, which is jointly controlled by Iran and Oman, is a vital artery for the world's fossil fuels. A fifth of all oil shipments pass through it, as well as a third of all liquified natural gas. Closing it or disrupting the flow of ships, as Iran has threatened in the past, would strangle the supply of oil and gas on global markets, increasing the price of fuel. A blockade would also put pressure on the British economy and people's wallets as consumers and firms absorb higher energy costs. While it would be hard for Iran to close the strait entirely, it could disrupt oil shipments by attempting to seize tankers that strayed into its waters. Shipping firms are already reluctant to pass through. Frontline, the world's fourth-largest oil tanker firm, is refusing contracts that use the strait. Brent crude, an international oil benchmark, surged to around $74 a barrel after Israel's attacks on Friday – the highest price in more than two months. But this could go up further if Iran closes the strait.
