Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference last night, where he said Israel would “hold off” future attacks on Iranian gas fields after being asked to do so by US President Donald Trump, the BBC reports.
Netanyahu also rejected accusations that he’d dragged Trump into the war with Iran.
Blasts were also heard in Jerusalem and Tehran, Iran’s capital. Iran’s foreign minister earlier warned that Tehran would act with “zero restraint” if there were further attacks on its infrastructure.
The United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have all reported missile and drone attacks in the last few hours, which the UAE and Bahrain have attributed to Iranian aggression.
US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) has issued an update on the death toll in Iran, which it says has reached 3,186 people since war began on 28 February.
The price of gas has risen sharply in the UK and Europe following the attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan energy complex, which Qatar’s PM has called a “very dangerous escalation by the Iranians.”
