'We have control of Iranian skies’, US President Donald Trump says

US President Donald Trump has posted on social media, saying: "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.”

In a separate post, US Vice-President JD Vance said Trump "may decide he needs to take further action" to end Iran's nuclear programme.

The US has long provided Israel with military aid and equipment - but its official position since strikes began on Friday has been that the US is not involved in Israeli strikes on Iran.
