That's where we'll leave our rolling coverage for today.

The conflict shows no signs of slowing after critical infrastructure was struck in multiple Gulf countries and two vessels were hit near the Strait of Hormuz.

We'll be back in the morning with more live coverage.

The death toll in the Middle East continues to rise as the conflict expands across the Gulf.

More than 1300 people in Iran have been killed during the war.

Israeli strikes have killed 968 Lebanese people and displaced more than one million—roughly 20 per cent of the population, according to the Lebanese government,.

In Israel, 14 people have been killed by Iranian missile fire.

At least 13 US military members have been killed.

Iran has executed three people detained in January's nationwide protests, the nation's judiciary announced today, Iran's Mizan news agency reports.

Mehdi Ghasemi, Saleh Mohammadi and Saeed Davvodi were executed after allegedly stabbing two police officers to death in Qom, some 130 kilometres south of the capital, Tehran, during the January protests.

Iran's judiciary has been threatening to carry out executions of those arrested in the protests.

The three men's sentences are the first to be carried out to the public's knowledge.

Iran quelled the January demonstrations with intense violence that killed thousands of people and saw tens of thousands others detained.

Activists have warned Iran could carry out a wave of mass executions of those detained in the protests.

A vessel has reported being hit by an "unknown projectile" off the coast of Qatar today, near an energy site which was struck by a missile yesterday, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations said.

All crew members are reported safe.

It comes just hours after a vessel was hit off the east coast of the United Arab Emirates, also near the Strait of Hormuz.

There was a fire on board but no reported injuries.

More than 20 oil tankers, cargo ships and other vessels have reported incidents around the Strait of Hormuz since the war began.

A summit of Gulf Arab countries and others ended today with a renewed call for Iran to stop attacking its neighbours.

In a joint statement, they denounced "these deliberate Iranian attacks using ballistic missiles and drones, which targeted residential areas and civilian infrastructure, including oil facilities, desalination plants, airports, residential buildings, and diplomatic missions".

"The participants emphasised that these attacks cannot be justified under any pretext or in any way," the statement said.

The statement was issued by Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

Trump continued his statement to affirm that Israel will not launch any more attacks on the Pars Gas Field.

In the same breath, he threatened to "blow up the entirety" of the site.

"NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar - In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before," he said.

"I do not want to authorise this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar's LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so."

Iran has been launching retaliatory strikes across the Gulf region after Israel struck its largest gasfield - the Pars Gas Field.

Qatar has confirmed its LNG facilities were hit by Iranian missiles this morning.

In a Truth Social post shared less than an hour ago, Trump said the US "knew nothing" about the Israeli strike on Iran's gas field.

"Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit," he said.

"The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.

"Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG Gas facility."

Emmanuel Macron said he has spoken to his Qatari and US counterparts following the strikes that hit gas production facilities in Iran and Qatar today.

The French president said they all agreed to implement a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure.

"It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water supply facilities," he said in a social media post on X.

"Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation."

QatarEnergy, a state-owned petroleum company, has confirmed that Iranian missiles hit several of its LNG facilities early this morning and caused "sizeable fires and extensive further damage".

Emergency response teams were deployed to contain the fire and no injuries have been reported.

Another Qatari energy facility suffered extensive damage in a strike yesterday.

Three Palestinian women have been killed and 13 more wounded in an Iranian strike in the Israeli-occupied West Bank today, the Palestinian Red Crescent told Reuters.

The missile struck a makeshift hair salon in the town of Beit Awwa.

The town's mayor told the New York Times that the salon had been full of women getting their hair done to celebrate Eid, the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The Israeli military said it believed the strike was caused by a cluster munition - a warhead that releases several smaller bombs.

This is the first Iranian strike to hit the West Bank.
