Iran threatens oil tankers as Middle East war escalates

A major military escalation unfolds across the Middle East as Israel and the United States conduct coordinated strikes on Iran, hitting over 1,200 targets in Tehran and military installations. Iran retaliates with drone attacks on multiple countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus and Jordan, threatening to close the Straits of Hormuz and target oil tankers. Australian troops based at Al Minhad airbase in Dubai survived Iranian drone attacks, while Israel opens a new front against Hezbollah in Lebanon with strikes reaching Beirut.
