Israel said on Friday it was under attack from a new barrage of Iranian missiles as US President Donald Trump warned Washington had yet to begin "destroying what's left" of Iran's infrastructure.

Israel's military reported a new missile salvo from Iran on Friday, with its air defences activated to down them. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Israeli emergency services reported some damage to houses and cars from an unintercepted cluster missile, while Israeli military radio said a train station in Tel Aviv was damaged by shrapnel. The Iranian fire came as Israeli and US strikes kept hitting Iran..

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted that "striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender".

Writing in the US journal Foreign Affairs, Iran's former top diplomat said that Tehran should make a deal with the United States to end the war by offering to curb its nuclear programme and reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief.

"Iran should use its upper hand not to keep fighting but to declare victory and make a deal that both ends this conflict and prevents the next one," wrote Mohammad Javad Zarif, foreign minister from 2013 to 2021.

Iranian military spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari warned that in response to Trump's threats to attack infrastructure, Iran would increase its own attacks on energy sites in the region, calling on "countries hosting US military bases" to "force the Americans to leave their countries".

A drone attack on a refinery owned by Kuwait's national oil company on Friday sparked fires at several of its units, state media said, while a power and desalination complex was damaged in an attack, the electricity and water ministry said.

An correspondent in Kuwait City said there had been no disruption to power or water services.

In Abu Dhabi, a gas complex shut after a fire broke out, the government said.

"Authorities are responding to an incident of falling debris at the Habshan gas facilities, following successful interception by air defence systems," the emirate's media office said on X.

The Iranian response to US-Israeli attacks came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in remarks made public on Friday, said his country could help unblock the Strait of Hormuz.

He did not specify how Ukraine could contribute but cited Kyiv's experience in restoring passage through the Black Sea, which Russia had blocked at the beginning of its invasion of Ukraine. (AFP)
