Iran-US war latest: Missiles shot down over Dubai after Tehran vows to avenge death of security chief
Missiles have been shot down over Dubai after Tehran vowed revenge following the killing of security chief Ali Larijani in an Israeli airstrike.
A loud bang was heard in Dubai, before authorities in the United Arab Emirates confirmed they had intercepted a missile with no injuries reported.
It comes after the Iranian army chief has vowed to launch a “decisive” retaliation after an Israeli airstrike killed Larijani.
“Iran’s response to the assassination of the secretary of the supreme national security council will be decisive and regrettable,” Amir Hatami said after the council confirmed the death of its leader.
Larijani is the most senior Iranian official to be killed by the US and Israel since the assassination of supreme leader Ali Khamenei on the first day of the war.Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said it had launched missiles at central Israel “in revenge for the blood of” Larijani and his companions.
At least two people were killed near Tel Aviv in an Iranian missile attack on Wednesday morning. Earlier, Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Nato, claiming the alliance abandoned the US “in its time of need” by refusing to help open the Strait of Hormuz.
