Attacks are continuing across the Middle East for a third day, with Iran launching strikes against US interests in the region.

Residents in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have reported hearing more blasts this morning, while Kuwait says that several US fighter jets have crashed in the country, but all on board have survived without specifying the reasons for the crash.

This is US President Donald Trump says the American bombing campaign against Iran will continue until its objectives are achieved.

In a video posted on social media, Trump said the US and Israel had struck hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities and air defences.

He also reconfirmed the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and called on the country's leaders to capitulate.

Trump's comments came as Iran sent waves of missiles at targets in multiple countries that host US military bases.

Projectiles struck buildings and killed civilians in Israel, while defences in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait continue to intercept incoming fire.

Speaking to ABC News on Sunday, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi defended the regime's strikes.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi speaking there as Trump said in a brief interview with the New York Times on Sunday that the assault on Iran could last four or five weeks.
