Good morning, Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are some of the latest key updates from the Iran war:

A US-Israeli attack killed 12 people and injured 116 more in a residential area in western Iran’s Dorud county, the Tasnim news agency reported.

  • Iran has executed three people convicted of killing police officers and carrying out operations in favour of the US and Israel during unrest earlier this year, the judiciary said.

  • Trump said Israel carried out the attack on Iran's South Pars gas field, and the US and Qatar were not involved in it.

  • Attacks on Iraq’s paramilitary Popular Mobilisation Forces, which includes several pro-Iran groups, have killed at least two fighters and wounded several others.

  • Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia intercepted more drones as projectiles struck two vessels off the coast of Qatar and the UAE.

  • Saudi Arabia said the kingdom reserves the right to take military action against Iran if necessary, accusing Tehran of pressuring its neighbours rather than engaging in dialogue.
