US carries out new limited strikes on Qeshm Island as Qatar pushes inspection plan

Trump said US forces carried out a new round of "minor" strikes on Friday against an air defence system, and Iranian state media reported two explosions in the Suza area of Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, Qatar was reported to be trying to persuade Iran to allow UN inspectors into its bombed nuclear sites, with Trump reportedly still weighing new strikes. Qatar's prime minister also urged both sides not to wait for a perfect moment to end the war.

• Iran says five oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire in separate Hormuz incidents on Thursday, amid fears of a new US attack.
• Under the Qatari proposal Iran would not have to commit to removing its highly enriched uranium, and down-blending is among the options.
• Trump said the US may have to "destroy" the rest of Iran and that people will "know soon enough".
• The US has sanctioned Canadian, Indian and Turkish firms over alleged links to Iran, and a report says Russia may sell Iran rocket launchers.
