Iran is threatening retaliation following a suspected Israeli airstrike in Syria.

• The attack, which flattened a building in the capital, Damascus, killed five members of Tehran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.
• Iran's president accuses Israel of spreading instability in the region and says the attack will not be left "unanswered."
• Israel has not claimed responsibility. But the strike comes just days after Iran struck what it called "an Israeli spy headquarters" in northern Iraq.
  

And the US military says several of its troops were injured in another attack on an air base in western Iraq.

• US Central Command says Iran-backed militants launched multiple missiles and rockets at the al-Asad air base, a US-led coalition facility. It says most of the projectiles were intercepted, but some struck the facility.
• The US says its troops stationed in Iraq and Syria have faced more than 140 attacks by Tehran-allied fighters since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October.
