President Donald Trump criticises Keir Starmer and the UK's initial response to US-Israeli strikes on Iran, saying “this is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with”.

The US president said he was “not happy" with the UK, and told reporters at the White House “everything’s been knocked out in Iran”.

It comes after the US warned of “imminent” Iranian attack in the Saudi city of Dhahran, a major centre for the oil industry and where a US consulate is located.

How is the region reacting? Gulf states have often followed a policy of strategic ambiguity — could that now be over? And how could the Middle East be reshaped by this US-Israel war on Iran?

We speak to the BBC's correspondent in Doha, Barbara Plett-User.

The US-Israel war with Iran is now engulfing the Gulf.

The Gulf states - including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain - are some of the wealthiest places on earth, and have until recently been mostly insulated from Middle East conflicts.

But why are places including Dubai, Qatar and Kuwait being targeted by Iranian strikes? And will the Gulf states retaliate if the bombing continues?

The BBC's Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner, is an expert in the region.

He explains why the Gulf may soon be pressed into action and offers his thoughts on what might happen next.

Donald Trump has said he launched a war against Iran because it was the "last, best chance" to stop the country's regime.

Speaking at the White House for the first time since attacking Iran, the President said the US is continuing to carry out “large scale combat operations”. More than 1,250 targets have already been struck.

The Iranian Red Crescent said at least 500 people had been killed in Iran. Six US service personnel are confirmed to have been killed.

Iran has continued retaliatory missile attacks against US allies across the Middle East. Meanwhile Israel has launched multiple strikes on what it said were Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, warning that military operations won't end until the threat is fully removed.

Oil and gas prices have surged following the Israeli and US strikes on Iran, and retaliation by the regime which has forced shutdowns of oil and gas facilities ‌across the region and disrupted shipping in the key maritime passage, the Strait of Hormuz.

There are warnings that a prolonged conflict in the Middle East could lead to a sustained rise in oil prices, fuelling inflation and undermining global economic growth.

Clive Myrie and Reeta Chakrabarti present BBC News at Ten reporting by Jeremy Bowen, Sarah Smith, Jessica Parker, Chris Mason, Wyre Davies, Orla Guerin, Barbara Plett Usher, Luke Deal and Faisal Islam.
