This is where we'll leave you for the night. Thanks for joining us on our rolling coverage.

We'll be back tomorrow morning with a new blog bringing you the latest developments in the Middle East war.

Here’s a recap of some of today’s key developments:

• Israel says it has killed Iran's security chief, Ali Larijani, who is one of the country's most senior officials. If confirmed, it would represent a major blow to the regime.
• Israel also say it killed killed the leader of Iran's Basij Resistance Forceand other senior Basij figures in an air strike.
• Australia and New Zealand are jointly calling for an end to the war. Defence Minister Richard Marles, Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong, and their counterparts across the Tasman say hostilities should end as quickly as possible.
• Meanwhile, Israel is deploying more troops to Lebanon as its "limited ground operation" on its northern neighbour continues. 
• Iran says it has arrested 10 foreigners, alleging their had been collecting information on sensitive sites and preparing field operations.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has asked United Nations member states to condemn the US-Israel attacks on his country.

He added that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz cannot be addressed independently from the war.

Araqchi said he spoke with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres about the ongoing war.

The head of the United States' National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent, has resigned over the US-Israel war in Iran.

In a letter he sent to Donald Trump, he said "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation".

"I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby," he added.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the killing of Tehran's national security chief Ali Larijani was part of efforts to give Iranians a chance to remove their rulers.

"This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani, the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, which is the gang of gangsters that actually runs Iran," Netanyahu said in a televised statement.

He said the overthrow of the clerical authorities by Iranians "will not happen all at once, it will not happen easily".

"But if we persist in this — we will give them a chance to take their fate into their own hands."

Iran's intelligence ministry says it has confiscated hundreds of Starlink systems in a nationwide operation, according to the state-affiliated Tasnim news agency.

The satellite internet service, owned by Elon Musk, has been a vital way for Iranians to continue communicating with the outside world.

Iran's regime has implemented internet blackouts both during this current war with Israel and the US, and throughout nationwide protests earlier this year, to crack down on the flow of information between Iranians and with the outside world, but Starlink systems have provided a backchannel. 

Ali Larijani saw his power grow during the current war in the Middle East.

After the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the start of the war, Iran's security chief Larijani became even more powerful than he had been for decades.

Oil tankers are beginning to cross the Strait of Hormuz, White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett told CNBC.

He added Iran's actions to choke traffic through the shipping route have not hurt the US economy.

"Already you're seeing tankers are starting to dribble through the straits, and I think it's a sign of how little Iran has left," he said.

"We're very optimistic that this is going to be over in the short run, and then there will be price repercussions when it is over for a few weeks, as the ships make it to the refineries."

The World Food Programme, which is a body of the United Nations, says the ongoing war could push an extra 45 million people into acute hunger within three months.

That troubling possibility would be the rest of price rises for food, oil and shipping costs.

The WFP estimates that currently 319 million people are experiencing acute hunger globally.

If the war between Iran, Israel and the US continues through to June, the organisation estimates that tally will be pushed even higher.

The Israeli military has confirmed a new wave of air strikes on Iran is underway "after the elimination of the senior officials".

"IDF launches wave of extensive strikes targeting infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime across Tehran," an Israeli military account posted on social media.

Iran's ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, has denied a media report that the country's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is receiving medical treatment in Moscow, the Russian state TASS news agency reported on Tuesday.

Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported over the weekend that the 56-year-old, who was reported to have been severely injured in a US-Israeli air strike that killed his father, had been moved to Moscow for medical treatment on President Vladimir Putin's personal invitation.

The new ayatollah, who has not been seen since being appointed as the country's supreme leader, instead released a written statement.

He also provided a statement earlier today to politicians in Iran, rejecting proposals for reducing tensions with the United States, but it was not clear whether that statement was delivered in person or not.

The Kremlin declined to comment on the original media report.
