Hamas, which is backed by Iran, said it affirms Tehran's right to defend itself against the U.S.

and Israeli attacks.

But in a statement, the group called on its Iranian brothers to, quote, avoid targeting neighboring countries and urged all regional nations to cooperate in order to, quote, preserve the bonds of brotherhood.

Iran has fired missiles and drones into multiple Gulf countries.

Iran says it is targeting U.S.

installations there, but many attacks have hit civilian infrastructure.

In the UAE, Iran hit the Dubai airport and near iconic tourist landmarks.

Saudi Arabia said Friday it intercepted nearly a dozen drones from Iran.

Israel's military says it sent out a warning to Iranians to avoid the area, where it said it was destroying military infrastructure.

The warning went out on the Israeli military's Farsi social media accounts.

It's unlikely many saw the notice as the internet is difficult to access in Iran and often blocked by the government.

Captured live on Iranian state TV, the blast occurred close to the huge pro-government rally as a reporter was interviewing a top Iranian official.

Immediately after the blast, the official raised his fist, defiantly vowing never to surrender.

Videos captured the crowd burning U.S.

and Israeli flags.

Israel says its air force hit more than 200 Iranian targets in the last 24 hours.
