Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest developments:

A senior adviser to the command of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force indicated that Tehran's missile industry is self-sufficient and is able to rely on its own domestic production and resources. Ali Bilali said the missile industry was now "more homegrown than Persian carpets".

US president Donald Trump said that renewed attacks on Iran could be "five times bigger" than previous strikes on the country. He made the remarks during a phone interview with C-SPAN’s Washington Journal Primetime, where he also boasted about having "wiped out" Iran's navy, air force, anti-aircraft and their leaders.
