- Iran fired waves of missiles/drones at Israel, US bases in the Gulf (including Bahrain), and cities like Dubai (Jebel Ali port hit, smoke plumes visible), Doha, Manama, and even Oman’s Duqm port.
- Blasts heard over Dubai and Doha for a second day; ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted.
- Protests/mourning in Iran (thousands in Tehran); celebrations among opposition abroad.
- Warnings in Jordan (missiles/drones in airspace — shelter in place advised).
