A member of the Iranian women's soccer team who was granted asylum here in Australia has changed her mind and decided to return to Iran, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says.

The woman was one of two provided with a humanitarian visa yesterday.

"I would advise that one of the two who had made the decision to stay last night, had spoken to some of the teammates who had left and had changed her mind. In Australia, people are able to change their mind," Burke said.

"People are able to travel. And so we respect the context in which she has made that decision."

Burke said the woman contacted the Iranian embassy in Australia so she could get collected and that, as a result, the Iranian embassy became aware of the location of the rest of the team.

He said they were quickly moved as a precaution.

"I immediately gave the instruction for people to be moved, and that's been dealt with immediately," Burke said.

According to Iranian media, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims it has launched the "most intense and heaviest operation" since the start of the war.

The nation claims its most recent attacks involved missile launches, including a long-range ballistic Khorramshahr missile fired towards Israeli and US assets in the region.

"We will continue our sustained attacks with purpose and strength, and in the continuation of this war, we think only of the enemy's complete surrender," the IRGC said.

"The war will end only when the shadow of war is removed from our country."

Saudi Arabia's Defence Ministry said it destroyed five drones heading toward the kingdom's vast Shaybah oil field in the Empty Quarter desert.

It added that it intercepted and destroyed another two drones in the Eastern Province.

Israel, Bahrain and the UAE have all warned of potential incoming Iranian strikes.

Israel's military has warned that it has detected an Iranian missile launch targeting the nation, as sirens have begun sounding in the capital.

This is the third warning of the night, with the previous two incidents causing no casualties.

Sirens have also sounded in Bahrain, also warning of a potential Iranian attack.

Yesterday, an Iranian attack in the nation struck a residential building in Manama, killing a 29-year-old woman and leaving eight people injured.

The United Arab Emirates has also said its air defences were firing at incoming Iranian strikes, issuing a warning to civilians.

Iran's football chief Mehdi Taj has slammed the Australian government for giving seven members of the Iranian women's soccer team asylum.

"After the game, unfortunately, the Australian police came and intervened, removing one or two of the players from the hotel, according to the news we have," he told state television.

"They are taking our girls hostage... They did a terrible thing."

The exiled crown prince of Iran said he fears for the fate of the Iranian women's soccer players who have left Australia.

Speaking in an opinion piece published in The Sydney Morning Herald, Reza Pahlavi said the women were now at the mercy of a regime built on "hypocrisy and lies".

"The women who went back are not safe," he said. "The regime may stage a public reconciliation. Do not believe it.

"The Islamic Republic's pattern is consistent: threats first, a performance of mercy, then quiet retribution once the cameras move on."

Australia's Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel has been shut.

The announcement was made minutes ago in the latest Smart Traveller update for Israel.

"Due to heightened security concerns, the Australian Embassy in Tel Aviv is closed. Do not go to the Embassy and surrounding area," the announcement said.

"Australian officials remain in country and continue to provide consular services."

Australians are currently being told not to travel to Israel as Iranian airstrikes continue to pummel the country.

Qantas has hiked international airfares this week after the cost of jet fuel rose by up to 150 per cent in just a fortnight.

"Qantas International is increasing fares this week in response to rising costs including the significant increases in jet fuel prices," the airline said in a statement.

"These increases will vary from route to route."

Jetstar, the budget airline owned by Qantas, has also increased airfares.

This follows similar actions by Air India and Air New Zealand.

Iran's police chief has threatened any Iranian's who plan to protest against the regime, even if they were encouraged by the USA or Israel.

"If someone comes at the enemy's bidding, we do not regard them as a protester or anything of the sort; we treat them as we would treat the enemy, Ahmadreza Radan told state TV.

"We deal with them in the same way we deal with the enemy," he said."All our forces also have their fingers on the trigger, ready to defend.

"Human rights groups estimate around 6500 civilians were killed by authorities as they cracked down on protests at the end of last year and the start of this year.
