THE most malign force in the Middle East, has shown its hand at last.
No longer hiding behind its proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and others, Iran launched 35 cruise missiles, 110 ballistic missiles and 185 drones against Israel on Saturday night.
Another busy day, the highlight being a virtual meeting with three representatives from Boots. Since the closure of their pharmacy in Underhill on Portland, I have inquired into whether another company could take over the premises.
