The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for attacking the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amidst an escalating war in the region.
The IRGC Public Relations Department stated that the Iranian forces targeted the Israeli Prime Minister's office and a location where the commander of the Israeli Air Force was present.
The status of Netanyahu remains unclear, according to reports.
The war has escalated further, with Israel and the US striking targets across Iran since Saturday.
Explosions have been reported in Dubai, Bahrain, Iraq, and elsewhere, causing chaos with hundreds of flights cancelled and the strategic Strait of Hormuz paralysed.
Israel has bombarded Lebanon following rocket fire from Hezbollah, while several American warplanes crashed in Kuwait, with the US blaming Kuwait for the 'friendly fire'.
A Saudi oil refinery was targeted, and black smoke rose from the US embassy complex in Kuwait as Iran pressed on with attacks in retaliation for the US and Israeli campaign that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
An Iranian drone also hit a UK military base in Cyprus, but no casualties were reported.
