Blasts heard in Qatar as Iran responds to attack
Dubai (AP): Explosions could be heard in Qatar on Saturday as Iran launched a counterattack over the joint US -Israel campaign targeting the Islamic Republic. There was no immediate word of any damage.
Iran responded to the campaign as it had been threatening to do for months — it first launched a wave of missiles and drones targeting Israel. Then later, it began apparently targeting US military installations in Kuwait and Qatar as explosions could be heard.

Russia calls for immediate halt to US, Israeli attacks on Iran
Russia has reacted strongly to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel, urging an immediate stop to the military attacks.
In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry called for an immediate halt to the US and Israeli strikes on Iran. It said the situation must be “returned to the path of political and diplomatic settlement”.
The ministry said the international community should quickly provide what it described as an objective assessment of the actions taking place. It termed the attacks as irresponsible and warned that they risk further destabilising the region.
The statement also said Russia remains ready, as before, to assist in efforts to find peaceful solutions. It stressed that any resolution should be based on international law, mutual respect and a balance of interests.
