Traveling with the president
I'm now in the Miami suburb of Doral, where President Trump is spending the night after arriving from Washington.
Trump did not come speak to us at all during the over two-hour flight from Washington DC.
He has not addressed Iran since an event earlier today, in which he briefly told the assembled crowd that the US is doing "phenomenally" in the military campaign. He added that Iran's navy and communications are "gone", along with their Air Force and two tiers of leadership.
Tomorrow promises to be a busy one for the US president. He is expected to meet with several Latin American leaders at the "Shield of the Americas" summit in Miami before heading to Dover, Delaware.
There, he will participate in what is known as a "dignified transfer" ceremony, in which the remains of the six American soldiers killed in an Iranian strike on a base in Kuwait are returned to the US.
The Israeli military says it has detected incoming missiles launched from Iran.
"Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat," a statement says.
An alert is being sent to mobile phones and those receiving it are advised to enter a protected space.

In a war widely described as his "war of choice", Donald Trump says he also wants to choose who will rule Iran now that its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and dozens of others clerics and commanders, have been assassinated.
That seems unthinkable for a clerical regime rooted in deep distrust of America - among its most ideological elements there is burning hostility towards the country they labelled long ago as the "great Satan".
Whether Iran's embattled leadership would be mindful of choosing a top cleric willing to work in a different way with Washington is not clear.
There has long been division between factions known as reformers and pragmatists, and the hardliners who call themselves Principlists in their defence of their revolution.
But they are united on one goal: the survival of the system which keeps them in power.
There are reports that the Assembly of Experts - a grouping of some 88 senior clerics tasked with this responsibility - could chose a council of leaders rather than one person to preside in this perilous time.
However, it is not even clear that the successor will be announced, since Israel has made it clear that whoever emerges will also be an "unequivocal target".
The only person speaking often and openly about this highly sensitive choice is Trump, who has remarked: "Most of the people we had in mind are dead."

A burning plane and large plumes of smoke are visible at the Mehrabad airport - Iran's busiest airport and main domestic hub - in footage shared by eyewitnesses on social media. Satellite imagery taken on Friday shows multiple aircraft were at the airport.
Iranian state media is also reporting some parts of the airport have been targeted.
It comes after the Israeli military said it was launching a "broad-scale new wave of strikes" in the country. It previously targeted the airport on 4 March, saying its strikes dismantled defence and detection systems that were a threat to the Israeli Air Force, which included the helicopter manufacturing section of the airport.
It is not yet clear which parts of the airport has been bombed in the fresh attack but witnesses say tonight's bombardment has been much more intense.
Image source, AFP via Getty ImagesSaudi Arabia has intercepted six drones on their way to an oil field and a ballistic missile headed to an air base, the country's Ministry of Defence spokesperson says on X.
The drones were intercepted in the Empty Quarter, a vast desert in the south of the country. It is home to rich oil reserves including the Shaybah oil field which the Ministry of Defence says was the target of the attack.
The site produces a million barrels of oil a day, according to Saudi Arabian oil company Aramco.
The ballistic missile was on its way to the Prince Sultan Air Base, it added. In February, the base was used by a US Air Force aircraft as part of its build-up in the Middle East ahead of the strikes in Iran.
As the conflict sparked by US-Israeli attacks on Iran last Saturday hits the one week mark, with Iran's retaliation drawing the wider region into the crisis. Here's a recap of developments from Friday:
Image source, CBS 60 MinutesSpeaking to CBS News' 60 Minutes, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth answered questions about reports that Russia has been informing Iran of US military movements in the region.
Hegseth says the US is "tracking everything" and incorporating it all into its battle plans.
"The American people can rest assured their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who," Hegseth told CBS. "And anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or back-channeled, is being confronted and confronted strongly."
Hegseth added: "We're putting the other guys in danger, and that's our job. So we're not concerned about that. … But the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're gonna live."
Earlier today, a senior US official told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that Russia has been providing intelligence to Iran on US positions in the region.
The Kremlin says President Vladimir Putin spoke with Iran's president today to offer condolences and voice Russia's stance that hostilities need to end. Both parties agreed to continue their communications, according to a statement from Putin's office.
US Central Command, which directs the country's military operations, says it has hit more than 3,000 targets in Iran.
Some 43 ships have also been damaged or destroyed as part of Operation Epic Fury, it announced in a post on X.
The strikes are being prioritised according to "locations that pose an imminent threat" with the goal to "dismantle the Iranian regime's security apparatus".
BBC Verify analysis of satellite images and videos has shown that Iranian schools, a hospital and landmarks are among the civilian sites that have been hit by US and Israeli strikes.
Image source, ReutersSpeaking at a White House roundtable event focused on college sports, US President Donald Trump is asked about the conflict in Iran.
He says the US military is doing "phenomenally" in destroying Iran's military forces, telling reporters, "their army is gone".
"Their navy is gone. Their communications are gone. Two sets of their leaders are gone. They're down to their third set. Their air force is wiped out entirely," he says.
"They have 32 ships. All 32 are at the bottom of the ocean."
The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), a peacekeeping mission in south Lebanon, is condemning the Friday attack on its base that left three Ghanaian soldiers injured.
"It is unacceptable that peacekeepers performing Security Council-mandated tasks are targeted," UNIFIL says, adding that it is launching an investigation into the attack.
"Any attack on UNIFIL peacekeepers constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of the Security Council Resolution 1701 and may amount to a war crime," UNIFIL adds.
UNIFIL said the most seriously injured soldier has been transferred to a hospital in Beirut, while the two others are being treated at a UNIFIL facility.
This isn't the first time in recent months the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon has been targeted. In November, the IDF fired heavy artillery just a few metres away from a UNIFIL foot patrol, though no one was injured, according to the UN, external.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says a new wave of missiles is approaching Israel from Iran.
In its latest update on Telegram, the IDF says "defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat" and a "precautionary directive" has been issued to residents in relevant areas.
"Upon receiving an alert, the public is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice," the force adds.
Our colleagues from BBC Persian report that explosions have resumed in the Iranian capital.
Writing on Telegram, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it "has begun a broad-scale wave of strikes on the Iranian terror regime infrastructure in Tehran".
Earlier, a young woman in Tehran told us that "every few hours there are strikes again, almost every day".
A fire has broken out at an oil facility in Basra in southern Iraq following a drone strike.
Security sources have told Reuters and AFP news agencies Iran targeted the oil complex housing foreign energy companies, with the latter reporting that while two drones were intercepted, a third got through.
Iranian ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, says 1,332 civilians have been killed as a result of US-Israeli strikes on the country since Saturday.
Speaking to reporters at the UN headquarters in New York, Iravani said that according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, women and children were among the dead.
"Thousands more have been injured, and the numbers continue to rise," he said, adding that schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure had been "deliberately" targeted.
The US has denied targeting civilian infrastructure though is investigating a deadly strike on a girls' school in Iran, while Israel has accused Iran of targeting its civilians.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK stands ready to help defend Saudi Arabia should it be needed.
Starmer made the pledge to the country's de facto leader Mohammed bin Salman on Friday evening, according to a Downing Street read-out of a phone call between the two.
"Additional British fighter jets, helicopters and a destroyer were being sent to the region, and the UK stood ready to support the defence of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia should it be needed," a spokeswoman quoted the prime minister as having said.
"The leaders also discussed stepping up intelligence cooperation to support defensive operations and protect civilians."
The deputy foreign minister of Iran said European nations have been warned they'll become legitimate targets if they become involved in the war.
If any country "joins America and Israel in the aggression against Iran, they will be also legitimate targets for Iran's retaliation," Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told media outlet France 24.
He noted that Iranian officials have been "negotiating in good faith" with the US.

A US B-1 bomber has arrived today at Royal Air Force station Fairford in Gloucestershire, UK, according to the Press Association.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer agreed earlier this week to allow the US to use British bases to launch defensive strikes on Iranian missile sites, after initially denying access.
The B-1 bomber, nicknamed "the Bone", is a long-range, multi-mission supersonic conventional bomber and the fastest bomber in the US Air Force inventory, according to Boeing.
Image source, Getty ImagesRussian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian over the phone, according to a statement from Putin's office.
During the call, Putin expressed his condolences for the deaths of Iran's supreme leader, other government officials and civilians around the country, the Kremlin says.
Putin also reiterated Russia's stance that the hostilities must end immediately, and that a diplomatic resolution must be found, his office adds.
For his part, Pezeshkian expressed gratitude for Russia's support, and provided a detailed report of Iran's developments, says the statement.
Both countries agree to continue communications with each other, the Kremlin says.
President Donald Trump has shared an update following a meeting with leading US weapons manufacturers earlier today.
Writing on his social media platform, Truth Social, he says the defence companies have agreed to "quadruple Production of 'Exquisite Class' Weaponry".
"We have a virtually unlimited supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we are using, as an example, in Iran, and recently used in Venezuela," he writes. "Regardless, however, we have also increased Orders at these levels."
Trump previously claimed the US has a "virtually unlimited supply" of key weapons.
Mark Cancian, a former US Marine colonel with the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), says that the US could keep the current short-range level of fighting going on "almost indefinitely".
But the longer the war lasts, the list of targets also gets smaller – meaning a gradual slowing down in the tempo of operations.
