That ends today’s live coverage of the Middle East war.
Iran has closed the key shipping route the Strait of Hormuz again, blaming the US for “breaches of trust” during the ongoing ceasefire.
Two merchant vessels transiting the strait have been fired on, according to reports.
US officials have been seen arriving at the White House as negotiations with Iran approach a critical juncture, with the temporary ceasefire set to expire in a few days.
And Australia is “clearly going to help” in the war, Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Richard Marles says.
“I think what America wants, as we all want, is ultimately to see the Strait of Hormuz open,” he said.
