US-Iran war updates: Australian fuel supply boosted by 100 million litres as Iranian aircraft destroyed by US

A “hard-line” presenter has warned protesters against the Iranian regime on national state television, AP is reporting.

Reza Mollaei, host of the Samt-e Khoda (‘Towards God’) show, said regime supporters are “waiting, when the dust of this unrest settles. . .(to grab) you by the collar, every single one” of the widespread protesters rallying against the regime.

““Confiscating your properties in nothing, we will make your mothers mourn you,” Mollaei said.

“Those of you who now have foolish ideas and think things are chaotic and something must be done, this message is for you, both inside the country and outside.”

Missiles have been launched from Iran toward Israel on Thursday morning, according to Israeli sources.

AP is reporting missile alerts and explosions were heard in Jerusalem.

The Iranian footballer who decided to leave Australia after being offered asylum was “threatened” with her family’s safety, human rights advocate Tina Kordrostami says.

After the Iranian team refused to sing the country’s national anthem at a football match last week, Ms Kordrostami says backlash from the regime was swift.

“They started being intimidated, their families back home were being detained, and their phones started being taken away from them,” Ms Kordrostami told Skye News.

“The only decision they have made freely was to remain silent during that national anthem.”

The Iraqi News Agency is reporting operations at two oil ports have been “totally suspended” following Iranian strikes on two oil tankers this week.

Iraqi Ports Company director general Farhan al-Fartousi says the country’s commercial ports remain open.

A report from the Fars News Agency, which has been linked closely with the Revolutionary Guard paramilitary, says security force checkpoints in Tehran have been attacked by drones overnight.

10 people were killed, according to the Fars report.

Verified footage released by US Central Command shows US forces blowing up Iranian military aircraft.

The footage, which was captured at an airfield in southeastern Iran, shows what is believed to be a C-120 and p-3 surveillance aircraft — both of which are US made — as well as a Russian Il-76 cargo aircraft.

The Lebanese Health Ministry is reporting 7 people have been killed by Israeli strikes on Beirut overnight.

21 people were injured in the strikes.

The Israel Defence Force say they targeted 10 “terror headquarters” belonging to Hezbollah in the space of 30 minutes, with strikes launched across Lebanon.

Iran has loaded approximately 18.5 million oil barrels through its ports since the start of the war on February 28, according to the Associated Press.

The shipments were sent from Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, and the Jask terminal in the Gulf of Oman.

AP are reporting the shipments “broadly appeared” to be sent to China.

Mehr News Agency is reporting an industrial area in the city of Robat Karim, located just outside of Tehran, has been hit by US-Israeli airstrikes, according to Al Jazeera.

Chilling footage has emerged showing Iranian team officials racing through a Gold Coast hotel stairwell after discovering several members of the country’s women’s football team had fled in a bid to seek asylum in Australia.

The players were competing in the Women’s Asia Cup when five footballers slipped away from their hotel on Monday night, escaping through an underground car park.

Video shared online shows Iranian security agents and team officials running down a stairwell, apparently attempting to track the players down, while a supporter follows them filming the confrontation.

“This is Australia now, you are in Australia motherf*****, you are in Australia,” she says in the footage, repeatedly referring to them as IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps).

“You better run, we are gonna get you now, you better run, you have no rights here.”
