Iran's ability to threaten Strait of Hormuz 'degraded,' US says after underground missile sites bombed

Iran's ability to threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz has been "degraded" after the US bombing of an underground military facility this week, US Central Command says.

Two missiles have been launched at the joint US-UK military base Diego Garcia by Iran - neither hit their target. Could an Iranian missile reach Diego Garcia, our defence correspondent asks.

As Iranians mark the start of the new year in the country, one woman tells the BBC: "I personally can't feel the New Year's vibe".

Meanwhile, Iran says that its Natanz nuclear facility has been targeted again, but says there is no danger to those in surrounding areas.

The country's foreign minister says that it doesn't appear the US is prepared to halt its aggression, after President Trump said the US was considering "winding down" its war.

At least 640 strikes carried out on Iran on Friday - human rights organisation

At least 640 strikes were carried out across 17 Iranian provinces as of 17:00 EST (21:00 GMT) on Friday, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) says.

Those strikes led to at least 68 casualties, a number which includes people killed or injured and which does not differentiate between civilians or military targets, the organisation adds.

Hrana says that at least 1,398 people, including 210 children, have been killed since the war began three weeks ago. An additional 1,165 military fatalities are recorded, and 657 people have been killed who have not been classified as either civilian or military.

IDF says it carried out wide scale strikes in Tehran

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it has carried out wide scale air strikes in Tehran, hitting dozens of targets.

A storage site for components used in missile manufacturing and a complex belonging to the Ministry of Defence responsible for producing rocket fuel were also struck. Another site used to produce ballistic missile parts was also hit.

The IDF adds that it also struck several Iranian defence systems across Tehran.
