Ten days since the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, the conflict's impact has widened significantly, with Iran retaliating, Israel striking Lebanon, and oil prices surging. Iranian officials have selected the late supreme leader's son as his successor, but Trump has signalled Mojtaba Khamenei does not have his support. Previously, US President Donald Trump said he wanted a say in the selection of Iran's new leader.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has said that the possible redeployment of US weapons from his country to the Middle East "does not hinder" its deterrence stragegy against North Korea.

Lee said that while Seoul has "expressed opposition" to the US shifting air assets out of South Korea, "it is also the clear reality that we cannot fully have things carried out according to our position".

The South Korean leader was speaking at a cabinet meeting in Seoul, where official discussed contigency measures regarding the conflict in the Middle East.

On Friday, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said the US and South Korean militaries were discussing the possible redeployment of some US Patriot missile systems in South Korea to the Middle East.

Some countries in Asia have announced measures to cushion the blow of higher oil prices caused by the Iran conflict.

Authorities in South Korea and Thailand said they would set limits on fuel charges.

South Korea leaders have also warned oil firms that any companies that try to take advantage of the crisis will be dealt with.

Other countries have shut buildings to conserve energy, like universities in Bangladesh, which have been closed since Monday.

In the Philippines, government agencies have started a four-day work week policy, with the exemption of critical services like fire stations and hospitals. A 24C (75F) standard was also set for air conditioners.

Oil prices have come down by around 10% this morning in Asia but they are still much higher than they were before the war started.

The prices have hit Asian countries especially hard, as many, including South Korea and Japan, are big importers of Gulf oil.

The rest of the Iranian women’s team have now left the hotel.

The coach sat on the tarmac outside reception for well over an hour as police blocked off the roads and Australian Federal Police organised the escort.

When the coach finally left, local Iranian activists chanted Save Our Girls, with some lying in front of the bus to stop it moving forward.

You could see inside that some team members had their hands over their ears, while others were watching intently as the drama played out in front of them.

It felt like a replay of Sunday, people pleading with the players through the glass. Eventually though the police cleared the way and the coach continued to the airport.

The Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps has responded to Trump's comments that the war in Iran would end soon, saying that they will "determine the end of the war".

Tehran will not allow "one litre of oil" to be exported from the region if the US and Israeli attacks continue, the IRGC says, according to Reuters.

Oil prices have fluctuated amid rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial to the global energy market as around a fifth of the world's oil passes through the narrow waterway.

Ten days after the US-Israel war with Iran began, the conflict's impact has widened, affecting several countries in the Middle East and sending global oil prices surging. Iranian officials have selected the late supreme leader's son as his successor but Trump has signalled Mojtaba Khamenei does not have his support. Previously, Trump said he wanted a say in the selection of Iran's new leader.

Here is a round up of key developments in the war:

• Speaking in Florida, US President Donald Trump says although the US has had many military victories in Iran and the war would be completed soon, the US is "going to go further". "We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough," Trump told Republican lawmakers
• Trump describes the war as "an excursion" from his policy priorities but says it is important because he believes Iran was going to attack the US and Israel first
• The president, however, does acknowledge the war's economic and social impacts at home, saying the tumbling stocks will rise again soon and that US personnel deaths were unavoidable
• His comments come on the same day Trump had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and as the US military publicly identified a seventh service member death since the war began late last month. The total US death toll has risen to eight
• Across the Middle East, deaths have also been reported in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. The Israeli military have continued to launch strikes inside Iran
• The UK chancellor says inflation is likely to rise at home as Britain signals support for the release of oil reserves by G7 member countries to help counter rising oil prices
• French President Emmanuel Macron has also been in Cyprus which has seen some strikes since the war began. The UK and other European nations have announced they are sending more military assets to Europe's southern front
• And finally, players of Iran's women's national football team who are currently in Australia have been granted humanitarian visas to stay

Rising fuel prices are already forcing a change of habits to cut costs among drivers in the US who spoke to the BBC.

Petrol prices have jumped by around 50 cents (37p) in some states in the last week, a change that is being felt by drivers.

There is movement at the hotel where the Iranian women’s football team has been staying in Australia. The team bus has pulled up.

No confirmation but suggestions they are going to go to a local airport, either Gold Coast or Brisbane and then onwards on to a international flight, although none of this is confirmed.

As we reported earlier, five members of the Iranian women's football team have been granted humanitarian visas in Australia after their elimination in the Asian Cup.

On Monday, Trump demanded Australia "give asylum" to the women's football team. "The US will take them if you won't," he added.

Around an hour later, Trump posted again to say he had spoken to Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and "five have already been taken care of, and the rest are on their way".

Trump's post appeared to also suggest some of the team feared for the safety of their families back in Iran and so felt they must "go back".

"In any event, the Prime Minister is doing a very good job having to do with this rather delicate situation. God bless Australia!" Trump said.

But Trump's intervention on the Iranian footballers in Australia comes just months after his administration deported Iranian asylum seekers back to Iran.

His administration put all asylum decisions on hold at the end of last year, and has stopped issuing immigrant visas for citizens from dozens of countries including Iran. It has said the administration wants to bring "an end to the abuse" of the system.

Last year, two groups of Iranians - including people whose asylum applications had been unsuccessful - were deported from the US back to Iran. The groups reportedly included members of the LGBT community, who face severe legal and social repercussions in Iran.

The widening conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands of people in Lebanon, according to the government.

About 700,000 people have registered themselves as displaced on the government's humanitarian assistance portal, and the government has opened more than 560 shelters, according to Lebanon's minister of social affairs, Haneen Sayed.

The UN's World Food Programme in Lebanon says it has reached 200,000 people with food and cash assistance since the crisis began.

Israel has bombed several suburbs in the capital Beirut in recent days, after the Iran-backed group Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel following Israel's killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

A Hezbollah official has vowed that the group will continue to defend itself against Israel "whatever the cost".

In a televised address, reported by AFP news agency and local media, Mohamed Raad, the head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc, says the group has "no other option" but "resistance".

It follows Lebanese President Joseph Aoun calling for a "complete ceasefire with a cessation of all Israeli land, air, and sea attacks on Lebanon".

A leader who has never been fully tested takes the helm in Iran when its theocracy faces its greatest test in five decades.

Continuity and connections have pulled Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, to the top after the assassination of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the first salvos of this war.

But Iran's third supreme leader since its 1979 revolution takes charge as the Islamic Republic confronts an existential battle.

For those who still mourn the loss of the many thousands killed in that crackdown on those protests, a harsh, hardline regime seems set to become even harsher.

Mojtaba Khamenei worked for decades in his father's shadow; he knows all the details about how the deep state works when it confronts external threats and internal upheaval.

And this war is no longer just a political fight; it's intensely personal. It's also about revenge.

Mojtaba Khamenei lost not just his father in the Israeli strike on the supreme leader's compound, but also his mother, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, his wife Zahra Haddad-Adel, as well as a son, on that fateful Saturday morning.

Trump is warning that Mojtaba Khamenei "won't last long". He is in Israel's sights too, with Defence Minister Israel Katz calling him "an unequivocal target".

So Khamenei may still remain in the shadows for a while. It will deepen the mystery around this reclusive cleric.

President Trump has issued another warning to Iran about disrupting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

"If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far," Trump says in an online statement.

About 20% of the world's oil passes through the strait and the war has severely reduced sea traffic and sent global oil prices soaring.

"Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!" he says.

Global oil prices fell in early Tuesday morning trading in Asia.

Brent was down by about 8.5% at $92.50 (£68.85) a barrel. US-traded oil also fell around 9%, to $88.60 a barrel.

The prices are still about 30% higher than they were at the start of the conflict.

The drop follows US President Donald Trump's remarks on Monday that the war will be over "very soon".

Asian markets appear to have been given a boost by the dip in oil prices in early trade. Japan's Nikkei 225 index was up by 2.8% and South Korea's Kospi exchange rose by more than 5%.

Indexes in Asia were dealt a heavy blow by the surge oil prices as many countries in the region are big customers of the Gulf states.

Canadian lawmakers in the House of Commons are making their views on the Iran war known today during a "take note" debate - a special parliamentary debate that allows MPs to weigh in on issues that aren't immediately on the lower-house floor.

Liberal MP Wayne Long requested the debate to focus on the "hostilities in Iran and the Middle East and the impact for Canadians abroad", according to CBC. But Prime Minister Mark Carney is not attending.

Carney, a Liberal, initially said that Canada has long supported neutralising the "grave global threat" that Iran poses but that he takes that position "with regret". After facing criticism, he tried to strike a balance on his remarks by saying his support is not "a blank cheque" and suggested that Canada could provide Gulf allies with defence if they asked for help.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is criticising Carney for having a "contradictory" response to the conflict, as well as sitting out Monday's debate. Other conservatives are questioning the Liberal position on the strikes, saying they have been inconsistent.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said on Monday that the "focus must be on rapid de-escalation." She reiterated that Canada has not been involved in the strikes on Iran, but also does not want Iran to have nuclear weapons.

It’s still very difficult to contact those inside Iran amid the internet outage, but some connect momentarily.

From what I’ve heard from those inside, there has been some temporary power outage in Tehran and the nearby city of Karaj following strikes on both cities.

“The electricity was out for around 30 minutes. I just want this to end once and for all,” said a man in his 30s from Tehran.

“There were some fluctuations, but I’ll tolerate this situation as long as the regime is gone,” said another man in his 30s, from Karaj.

“I’m getting tired of this situation. The whole war is overwhelming. Some scenarios for the future and for the people of Iran are truly frightening,” said a man in his 20s from Karaj.

“I’m feeling terrible. They hit a street near us today. I just wanted to be able to sleep tonight. I’ve had a horrible day. Our youth has been wasted,” said a man in his 20s from Tehran.

Five members of the Iranian women's football team have been granted humanitarian visas in Australia after their elimination in the Asian Cup, the government in Canberra says.

The women had been due to fly home, but supporters had raised fears for their safety after the team declined to sing the national anthem ahead of their match against South Korea last week.

This prompted criticism in Iran, with one conservative commentator accusing the team of being "wartime traitors" and pushing for harsh punishment.

Immigration Minister Tony Burke said the women "were moved to a safe location" by Australian police. He said other squad members had been told they are welcome to stay in the country.

"They want to be clear they are not political activists. They are athletes who want to be safe," he said, adding that talks had been going on over several days.

One person has been killed and multiple people injured in Bahrain after an Iranian attack, the Gulf country's ministry says.

Bahrain's interior ministry says the Iranian attack was on a residential building in Manama, the country's capital city.

"Initial reports indicate one person died and others were injured in a blatant Iranian attack targeting a residential building in the capital," the ministry says.

Trump’s call with Putin earlier followed several reports indicating that Russia has been helping Iran in its conflict with the US and Israel.

Over the weekend, several American outlets, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and the Associated Press, cited anonymous officials claiming that Moscow was providing Tehran with intelligence that helped it to target military personnel and assets in the Middle East. Russia has not officially confirmed it is helping Iran.

But Moscow has condemned the strikes against Iran, calling them a “reckless step”.

Theoretically, helping Iran attack US targets could strain Moscow’s relationship with the Trump administration.

The US and Russia met several times this year for talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine — talks in which the Kremlin has been hoping Washington would put pressure on Kyiv.

The White House has not said whether Russia is indeed helping Iran, but insists that such assistance would make little difference.

“If you take a look at what’s happened to Iran in the last week, if they’re getting information, it’s not helping them much,” Trump said yesterday while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One.

His special envoy, Steve Witkoff, who is leading negotiations with Russia, also stopped short of confirming whether Russia was indeed sharing intelligence with Iran.

However, according to Witkoff, he “firmly” warned Moscow not to help Tehran.
