Iran has been targeting fuel storage facilities as the conflict in the Middle East enters

its 13th day. It's sent bread, crude oil prices above a hundred dollars a barrel.

Bakrane's interior ministry has confirmed an attack on fuel storage tanks at a facility

in Makharak. It says authorities are securing the site. Iraq has suspended oil operations

at its ports. That's after two fallen fuel tankers were hit in the port of Al-Faw in

the south. At least one crew member was killed. Another 25 were rescued. In Iran, multiple

drone strikes hit fuel storage tanks at the port of Salala on Wednesday. The attack caused

explosions and a major fire. Salala is an important hub for tankers wanting to bypass

the state of Hormuzm and three cargo ships were attacked in the straight on Wednesday.

Iran was a tie flag vessel. Twenty crew members were rescued after a fire broke out on board.

And there have also been more strikes on Iran with explosions seen in the central city

of East Fahan. Takran says Israel and the U.S. have hit nearly 19,000 civilian sites since

the war began. Nearly 1400 civilians have been killed, including 200 women and children.

And earlier Khazbola and Iranian forces carried out a coordinated attack on Israel. The revolutionary

guard has confirmed it was the first joint offensive since the war began. Strikes and

interceptions were reported in several locations across Israel, including Tel Aviv. And the Israeli

militaries carried out another night of heavy bombardment on the Lebanese capital. One

attack killed at least eight people in a popular beachfront district of Beirut and other

30 people were injured. More than 600 people have been killed in Lebanon since the fighting

resumed this month.
