Israel has launched fresh strikes on Tehran and Beirut as the conflict with Iran enters a seventh day.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says "firepower over Iran... is about to surge dramatically" as the US ramps up attacks on the country.

The first UK-chartered plane to bring home citizens from the Middle East lands at Stansted airport.

Donald Trump tells a White House event the US is striking Iranian drone and missile systems "every single hour", as Israel's military chief says the country is "moving to the next phase" of the war.

Iranians tell the BBC life is "tiring" and they feel "trapped", with one man saying it's "frightening" when his house shakes.

Earlier, there were huge queues of traffic in southern Lebanon where Israel told residents to evacuate ahead of a major bombardment.

Meanwhile, the UAE issued an emergency alert urging residents to seek shelter after six Iranian missiles and 131 drones were shot down.

Strikes have been reported across the Middle East overnight, as the US-Israel war with Iran enters its seventh day.

Some passengers spoke about the anxiety and stress they experienced in Muscat, Oman as they waited for their flight to depart.

The UK government has said it is looking into organising more charter flights in the coming days out of Oman.

There have also been commercial flights flying out of the United Arab Emirates to the UK.
