Iran attacks cargo ships in Gulf as US-Israeli strikes hit street checkpoints in Tehran
More cargo ships have been attacked in the Gulf, apparently by Iran, as the oil price rises again to almost $100 a barrel
Two tankers were hit near Iraq, while a container ship was struck near the UAE. Iranian state media says Iranian forces were behind at least one strike
In Iran, US-Israeli strikes on Tehran have targeted street checkpoints of the Basij – a volunteer militia that has suppressed protests
The US and Israel want to create the conditions for Iranians to take to the streets, writes Lyse Doucet – but for people living there, the strikes are amplifying their fear as war intensifies around them
Israeli strikes have killed several people in Lebanon, including at least eight in Beirut’s seafront area, while Israel is also carrying out “wide-scale” attacks on Iran
Meanwhile, Iranian state TV says the first message from new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei will be published soon
