That's all from us as we close down today's blog and end our live coverage of day five of the intensifying hostilities between Iran and Israel.
Before we go, a quick recap of some of the major developments that happened this Tuesday evening.
- US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the United States would not take out Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "for now," but warned "we know where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding."
- Trump also said in a social media post that "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran."
- US strikes on targets in Iran including against the country's nuclear facilities are on the table, Fox News said quoting a White House official.
- The Gonjeshke Darande (Predatory Sparrrow) hacking group, which has alleged ties to Israel, claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Iran's state-owned Bank Sepah.
- Israel launched a "massive cyber war" against Iran's digital infrastructure, Iranian media quoting the country's cybersecurity command said.
- Iranian state television urged the public to remove the messaging app WhatsApp from their smartphones, alleging without evidence the app is gathering user information to send to Israel.
Our journalists will be back keeping track of all the latest developments out of the Middle East from Wednesday morning. We hope you can join us then.
