Downing Street said the Prime Minister had spoken to the kings of Jordan and Bahrain as well as the crown prince of Kuwait on Sunday as strikes continued across the region. Explosions have been heard in multiple Gulf states as Iran vowed to carry out its “most intense operation” ever in retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
