According to The Washington Post, a US diplomatic compound in the Iraqi capital Baghdad has been hit by drones. Militia groups with ties to the Iranian regime are suspected of being behind the attack, according to an internal security memo seen by the newspaper. There are no reports of injuries or deaths.
At the same time, Iran has launched what it calls the "most intense" wave of attacks since the start of the war against several American and Israeli targets across the region.
At least seven ballistic missiles, targeting an air base and nearby areas outside the Saudi capital Riyadh, have been destroyed, according to the Saudi Defense Ministry. Several drones have also been shot down, some of which are said to have been aimed at the Shaybah field, which belongs to the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Aramco.
The air base that was attacked is the same one where an American soldier was so seriously injured in an attack in early March that he later died.
The United Arab Emirates' defense forces are also working to shoot down missiles and drones launched from Iran.
Israeli Channel 12 reports that several people were injured in an attack near Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military has launched several waves of attacks in Iran overnight, and the United States stated just before midnight that it had destroyed at least 16 Iranian minelayers in the Strait of Hormuz.
