War in the Middle East: latest developments Paris, France, March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026 Here are the latest developments in the Middle East war: - 92% of Iran missiles intercepted: Israel -
While Qatar has been targeted by several strikes since the start of the Middle East war, no connection has been made between this chopper and the conflict triggered by US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
Diego Garcia, part of the Chagos Islands, is one of two bases which the UK has allowed the United States to use for what the British government insists are "defensive operations" in its war against Iran.
"The attacks targeted dozens of water transmission and treatment facilities and destroyed parts of critical water supply networks," he noted, adding that efforts were underway to repair the damage.
"Eight separate attacks, carried out until dawn with rockets and drones targeted the US centre," a senior security official told AFP, while a second security official said there had been six strikes.
Local firefighters said flames had engulfed two vehicles after a "direct hit" in the northern Israeli kibbutz community of Misgav Am.
Israel's Magen David Adom emergency medical service said after the first warning that there were no immediate reports of casualties.
The "military base, located near Baghdad International Airport, has again been the target of drone strikes," the IRNA wrote, referring to a compound that was used in the past by the US military.
Israeli forces were "currently conducting strikes on Iranian terror regime targets in the heart of Tehran", a statement said.
