Iran has launched missiles at a US airbase in Qatar in response to strikes on its nuclear sites on Saturday.

Qatar confirms the attack on the US-run Al Udeid base, calling it a flagrant violation and says it reserves the right to respond directly.

It adds all the missiles were intercepted, while the Pentagon says there are no reports of US casualties.

In Washington, Donald Trump and defence officials are holding a situation room meeting, two days after the US launched massive strikes against three nuclear facilities inside Iran.

This was clearly a calculated and choreographed response by Iran and the ball is now in President Trump's court, Frank Gardner writes.

Gardner says it comes as Israel says it has been targeting Tehran with unprecedented force, including attacks on access routes to the Fordo nuclear site and Evin prison.
