Thank you for following our rolling coverage of the conflict in the Middle East. We will resume our live reporting tomorrow morning.

Here’s a wrap of what we covered:

Three more Iranian women’s soccer players have decided to return home rather than seek asylum in Australia, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed.
Two oil tankers were berthed at key Iranian oil-export facility Kharg Island hours after the US attacked military installations there, according to a satellite firm.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to use against the US and Israel, in an interview with CNN.
US President Donald Trump has not asked Australia to send a warship to the Strait of Hormuz as he seeks to rally a multinational coalition to protect the global oil trade, and any such request would probably be greeted warily by the Albanese government.
