US military bases in the Middle East are under attack in retaliation for US and Israeli strikes against Iran.
Footage posted to social media shows smoke rising from a US base in Bahrain used as the headquarters for the 5th Fleet.
Attacks are also reported to have taken place in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Sirens are also being activated in Kuwait, with reports that two Iranian missiles have been intercepted.
Northern Israel also appears to have been targeted by the Iranians.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard confirmed the attack on Israel, saying it had launched a “first wave” of drones and missiles.
Shortly after the joint US-Israeli operation began, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the US, labelling Iran as an “existential threat” to his country.
“My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, a short time ago, Israel and the United States embarked on an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran.
“I thank our great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership.”
Among the early targets appear to be facilities linked to the Iranian regime, including the residence of Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader.
Five cities have been targeted so far: Tehran, Karaj, Kermanshah, Qom and Isfahan.
President Trump addressed the nation in an eight-minute speech and said that Iranian regime must be held accountable for its historical attacks on the US and its allies, and for its refusal to abandon its ambition to acquire nuclear weapons.
He said the US will now destroy Iran’s missile capabilities, its navy and its “terrorist proxies” in the region.
He also called on the Iranian people to “take over your government” once the military operation is finished.
