The BBCโ€™s North America Editor Sarah Smith spoke with President Donald Trump in a brief phone call on Monday about his conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leading up to strikes on Iran.

When asked if Netanyahu defied him by firing at Iran on Sunday, Trump said the missiles were โ€œalready on their wayโ€ when he spoke with the Israeli prime minister. He added, โ€œif I tell him to do something, he does it.โ€ The call lasted just under a minute.

The BBC's international editor, Jeremy Bowen, said the public are "right to be worried" as the consequences of the war will be felt for generations.

BBC correspondent John Sudworth reports from the Beirut stronghold of Hezbollah support, Dahieh.

One person was killed and more than 60 injured in the Iranian drone strike on Wednesday.

Verified videos show strikes on densely populated neighbourhoods in southern Lebanon.

Tens of thousands of Israeli celebrants have marched through the area captured by Israel in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

Iranian authorities have imposed an internet ban but using trusted sources, special correspondent Fergal Keane hears from those traumatised by conflict and government repression.
