Summary
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth is giving an update on the Iran war
The US says it will loosen sanctions on other countries buying Russian oil and petroleum loaded on vessels at sea, in a bid to curb price rises - what we know so far
Easing of sanctions - even if just for a month - is welcome news for the Kremlin, writes the BBC's Steve Rosenberg
The cost of oil rose to more than $100 a barrel on Thursday when three more cargo vessels were hit in the Gulf
In Tehran, footage analysed by BBC Verify shows an explosion near a pro-establishment rally, after Israel launched new strikes
President Donald Trump says the US is "totally destroying" the Iranian regime - and to "watch what happens" on Friday
Meanwhile, drones entering Saudi Arabian airspace are destroyed and authorities in Dubai say debris from an intercepted projectile hit a building
And four crew members on board a refuelling plane that went down over Iraq have died, the US military says - adding the incident was "not due to hostile fire or friendly fire"

The sheer hypocrisy of US "sanctions", where it can be lifted and reimposed at wankee convenience.
