Audio By Carbonatix

Israel's defence minister says its military has killed Iran's security chief Ali Larijani in a strike.

Larijani was last seen in public at a Quds Day march in Tehran on Friday. Iran has not confirmed whether he has been killed or injured.

Drones and rockets were launched at the US embassy in Iraq's capital, Baghdad, overnight, in the second such attack of the war.

The UAE's defence ministry says it is intercepting drones and missiles from Iran, with Qatar saying it has also been targeted by missiles.

One Iranian tells BBC Persian the war is "really destroying my nerves", while Tehran's Ministry of Intelligence says it has confiscated "hundreds of Starlink devices", which are used by some Iranians to access the internet.

In the US, a top counterterrorism official resigns over the ongoing conflict, saying "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."
