Fire & blood

US will 'bitterly regret' torpedo attack says Iran, & cleric calls for Trump's head; Blazes across whole region as both sides continue to trade ferocious attacks

- DANNY DE VAAL

IRAN launched a new wave of attacks at Israeli and American bases yesterday and threatened the US would "bitterly regret" torpedoing an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean.

Elsewhere, a religious leader called for "Trump's blood", while Israel said it had begun a "large-scale" attack on Tehran.

Israel announced multiple incoming missile attacks and air sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Iranian state television said additional strikes also targeted US bases. Iran launched its large Khorramshahr-4 missiles in an attack yesterday targeting Israel, the country's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said.

The Guard said the missiles had a one-ton warhead. The missiles can also be multiple warhead.

Israel has said Iran used cluster munitions in attacks.

The Guard claimed attacks in Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates as well.

Bahrain said an Iranian missile hit a state-run oil refinery.

It said the fire last night was extinguished and the refinery was still working.

There were no reports of casualties.

The Israeli military said it launched targeted attacks in Lebanon at the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group and a "large-scale wave of strikes against infrastructure" in Iran's capital, without elaborating.
