Iran has expanded its list of potential targets if war resumes, saying retaliatory strikes would have no geographical limits. The warnings raise the prospect of attacks on military bases beyond the region, while US Vice President JD Vance is reportedly considering direct talks with Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei.

Iranian officials said any US bases involved in a new attack could be targeted, including those in Europe, and described a future response as “truly crippling”. Doha has been suggested as a possible venue for talks. Elsewhere, several beaches in the UAE’s Ras Al Khaimah have reopened after an oil spill; an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital complex killed at least six people and injured more than 50; and Saudi Arabia reported intercepting Houthi missiles and a drone.
