Three Iranian soldiers killed in Israeli attack - report

Briefly back now to Israel's attacks on Iran.

Iranian media is reporting three soldiers have been killed in an attack on Bandar Abbas, a city on Iran's south coast.

The three have been named as Mojtaba Ali Akbari, Hamed Rabbani and Mehran Munavari, according to Mehr news agency.

The report doesn't state when they were killed, only saying it happened in recent days.

Iran's attacks 'will impact relationship with Gulf states' - as Saudi condemns 'aggression'

Relationship-building efforts between Iran and the Arab Gulf states will be impacted by the attacks tonight.

Iran targeted a US base in Doha with missiles, which its top security body insisted did not pose a threat to "friendly and brotherly" Qatar.

But a Gulf official has suggested ties could be affected.

Speaking to Reuters, he said: "Iran's actions play into the hands of Israel, which wants to sow discord and derail recent improvements in relations between Iran and the Gulf countries."

Over recent years, Gulf countries Saudi Arabia and the UAE have restored once-frayed ties with Iran.

For its part, Saudi Arabia has said it "condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the aggression launched by Iran against the sisterly State of Qatar".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attack "constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the principles of good neighbourliness". 

"It is unacceptable and cannot be justified under any circumstances," it added.

Iranian committee approves plan to halt cooperation with nuclear watchdog - report

Iranian state media is now reporting the country's security commission has backed plans to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

A spokesperson, cited by Iran's Tasnim news agency, is quoted as saying: "During today's meeting of the Parliament's National Security Committee, members of the committee voted in favour of the general outline of the proposal requiring the government to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency."

The IAEA had declared that Iran was in breach of its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in 20 years on 12 June.

Qatar reopens airspace after brief closure

As the US and UK lift advice for citizens to take shelter in Qatar - see the post below this one - the Gulf state has now reopened its airspace.

Qatar had closed airspace just ahead of Iranian attacks, but its civil aviation authority has now confirmed that block has been lifted.

Warnings for citizens in Qatar to shelter lifted by US and UK

In a sign no more Iranian attacks are expected in Qatar, both the US and UK have lifted advice for citizens to find shelter in the Gulf state.

The US embassy added it will reopen tomorrow.

The UK said it has been in touch with local authorities and reviewed the security situation.

"British nationals do not need to shelter in place and should continue to follow advice from the local authorities," the foreign office said.

Israel issues new evacuation order for part of Tehran

How might the global economy be affected, including the price of oil?

Analysis: Trump comments read like a president who feels the job is done

We've just heard from our US correspondent James Matthews, who is at the White House for us, and he has given us his view of Donald Trump's post that confirms Iran gave an early warning about its attack, and described it as "weak".

He said: "I think what Donald Trump has posted is peace. That's how peace is delivered these days.

"And in this cycle of violence, in a tit-for-tat situation, the question has been all day, what would America do? How would it react to this Iranian attack?

"And I think you have from Donald Trump there your answer."

There is "nothing" in the post that suggests he is "on the verge of furthering this conflict".

"Everything reads to me like a president who feels that the job is done," Matthews said.

That makes sense "for an American president who always styled this as an intervention not to start a 'forever war', but to prevent one from breaking out".

With Iran's nuclear programme effectively "neutered", Trump has "tweaked the politics and the military situation to suit American interests".

"Right now, he can look at the situation can claim victory. He's had his sugar-rush of military success... and can portray himself as a peacemaker," Matthews added.
