Gulf countries reported new attacks Sunday morning, a day after Iran called for the evacuation of three major ports in the United Arab Emirates, threatening for the first time a neighboring country's non-U.S. assets, report agencies.
Tehran accused the United States of using "ports, docks and hideouts" in the UAE to launch strikes on Kharg Island, home to the main terminal handling Iran's oil exports, without providing evidence, as the war showed no signs of ending.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he hoped allies would send warships to secure the vital Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Israeli strikes have deepened Lebanon's humanitarian crisis, with more than 800 people killed and over 850,000 displaced.
Here is the latest:
Tankers continue to load oil on Iran's Kharg Island
A tanker was seen loading oil Sunday on Iran's Kharg Island, two days after the U.S. struck military facilities there.
The vessel-tracking platform TankerTrackers said seven more tankers are seen at the anchorage. Five had already loaded fuel oil, while two are waiting to load, according to satellite imagery. It wasn't immediately clear who the tankers belong to.
Bahrain tallies hundreds of intercepted Iranian projectiles
Bahrain said Sunday its air defenses have intercepted 125 missiles and 211 drones since the Iran war began.
The small island nation - home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet - has been among the most affected by Iranian strikes, which have hit ports, a hotel, a refinery and a water desalination plant. Similar in size to Singapore and less than one-third the size of Rhode Island, it relies on U.S.-made air defense systems. At least one person has been killed in the attacks.
UN migration agency warns of mass displacement in Iran
The International Organization for Migration said Sunday that deteriorating conditions in Iranian cities were "driving increasingly complex mobility patterns." It says the destruction of homes and facilities that provide basic services are pushing many Iranians to northern provinces, where they think they could be safer.
The U.N. agency said people have been displaced to more than 20 provinces and that shelters were facing strain throughout Iran. Iranians are also fleeing to neighboring states, the agency said, including nearly 32,000 to Afghanistan and nearly 4,000 to Pakistan, even though airports and most border crossings - especially to Iraq - are closed.
Iran's Health Ministry says U.S. and Israeli strikes have killed 223 women and 202 children since the start of the war on Feb. 28.
