Saudi-led coalition in Yemen has said that it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by Houthis toward Khamis Mushait in southwestern Saudi Arabia.

Saudi state-run Al Ekhbariya TV cited the coalition as saying that Yemen’s capital Sanaa and the provinces of Saada and Amran were the sources of Houthi missile threats.

The coalition said it would continue operations to neutralise ballistic and surface-to-surface missile threats and destroy their launch sites.

US President Donald Trump has said that nobody knew who was running Iran during the US-Israeli war with Iran, now in its eighth month.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said in recent days that Washington knows very well who its counterpart is in Iran and how Iran's decision-making system works.

US President Donald Trump said oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have matched and sometimes surpassed pre-war levels, with “millions of barrels” passing through in recent days.

His remarks came during a joint news conference with Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar in Islamabad. Guterres is visiting the country from Tuesday to Thursday.

Iran warned that any new attack by the US or Israel would face a stronger response, saying it has prepared potential targets for retaliation and significantly expanded its weapons production capacity.

Defence ministry spokesperson Reza Talaei-Nik said any renewed attack would be met with a “decisive response” and result in heavier losses for Iran’s adversaries, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported.​​​​​​​ Asked how Iran would respond to a potential attack on Kuh-e Kolang (Pickaxe Mountain), Talaei-Nik said targets that could be struck by the Iranian armed forces in response to renewed aggression had already been prepared.

He said advanced weapons and technologies, including missile and drone capabilities, upgraded air defences, and other naval, ground and air systems, had been made available to the armed forces.
