War exploded in the Middle East when America and Israel launched joint strikes against military targets in Iran early on Saturday morning. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and nearly 50 of his commanders were wiped out - leaving the regime more vulnerable than ever before. In scenes that have been likened to 9/11, an Iranian drone was filmed smashing into the top of a high-rise block in Bahrain. The building is located in Bahrain's capital, Manama, near a US naval base where another drone struck a radar dome earlier in the day. The drone struck outside the Fairmont The Palm, a famous five-star hotel, which then caught fire, and four people were injured.
