US President Donald Trump says he was not expecting Iran to target its Middle Eastern neighbours, despite the Islamic Republic threatening retaliation for the United States' attacks on Kharg Island.

Yesterday, the USA conducted strikes against military targets on the island, which is where 90 per cent of Iran's oil is exported from.

Iran reacted strongly, claiming the USA used "ports, docks and hideouts" in the nearby United Arab Emirates – claims denied by the UAE – to carry out the strikes, and promising retaliation.

Iran warned residents in areas where it claimed the USA is sheltering forces and equipment in the UAE, including sites in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

It was the first time Iran has directly threatened non-US assets since the war began over two weeks ago.

Kuwait's main airport was also hit by an Iranian strike.

Trump said he was surprised by Iran's retaliation, with the UAE, Qatar and Iraq all being hit overnight, including a strike on the US Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq.

"I was very surprised," he told NBC News.

"[It was] the biggest surprise I had of this whole thing."

Israel has also reported more Iranian strikes on Tel Aviv in the early hours of Sunday morning, local time.

US Central Command said it had no response to Iran's claim that it launched strikes from the UAE. A diplomatic adviser to the UAE's president, Anwar Gargash, said on social media the country has the right to defend itself but "still prioritises reason and logic, and continues exercising restraint."

Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Arab Gulf neighbours during the war, but it has said it was targeting US assets, even as strikes hit or were intercepted en route to civilian infrastructure such as airports and oil fields.

On Saturday, Iran's joint military command reiterated its threat to attack US-linked "oil, economic and energy infrastructures" in the region if its own such infrastructure was hit.

Iran's semiofficial Fars news agency said the Kharg Island strikes caused no damage to oil infrastructure.

It said they targeted an air defence facility, a naval base, the airport control tower and an offshore oil company's helicopter hangar.

US Central Command said it destroyed naval mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers and other military sites.

Israel earlier announced another wave of strikes in Iran targeting infrastructure, and said its air force had hit more than 200 targets in the past 24 hours, including missile launchers, defence systems and weapons production sites.

Three more players from the Iranian women's football team who were granted asylum in Australia over fears for their safety have decided to return home, leading to Iranian media mocking what it has labelled a "disgraceful failure".

The team was branded "traitors" by the Islamic regime after they refused to sing the Iranian national anthem before their Women's Asian Cup game on the Gold Coast

The federal government organised humanitarian visas for six members of the team and a support staffer – one of whom later had a change of heart and decided to return to Iran.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said three more have similarly reversed their decision overnight and will join the rest of their team to return to Iran.

Iranian media has identified the trio as Mona Hamoudi, Zahra Sarbali and Zahra Meshkinkar.

"After telling Australian officials they had made this decision, the players were given repeated chances to talk about their options," Burke said in a statement this morning.

"While the Australian government can ensure that opportunities are provided and communicated, we cannot remove the context in which the players are making these incredibly difficult decisions.

"The Australian government has done everything we could to make sure these women were provided with the chance for a safe future in Australia.

"Australians should be proud that it was in our country that these women experienced a nation presenting them with genuine choices and interacted with authorities seeking to help them."

The Tasnim News Agency, which is linked to the Iranian regime, said the three are "returning to the warm embrace of their family and homeland".

"The disgraceful failure of the American-Australian project and another failure for Trump," it said in a statement.

"Mona Hamoudi, Zahra Sarbali and Zahra Meshkinkar, two players and a member of the technical staff of the national women's football team, have withdrawn their asylum application in Australia and are currently leaving for Malaysia and returning to the warm embrace of their family and homeland.

"This is while previously, Mohaddeseh Zolfi, another player of our country's national women's football team, with her heart for the homeland and the Iranian flag, rejected the offer to stay in Australia and decided to return to Iran.

"The national spirit and patriotism of the Iranian women's national football team girls defeated the enemy's plans against this team, which had been widely reflected in the hostile media with numerous projections."

Iran is known to put pressure on family members back home to target their citizens across the world, according to political scientist Simon Jackman.

"At the end of the day, it's what's in the minds of these young women who are in an impossible situation," he told Today.

"The best-intended elements of our government are doing the best they can, even though it is a deeply personal decision, weighing up what they may be being back channelled to them when they get on the phone and talk to mum and dad or extended family back home.

"You cannot imagine what that must be like for a young woman in a country a long way from home, just immense pressure."

The team arrived in Australia for the Women's Asian Cup last month before the joint US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran began on February 28.

But their failure to sing their national anthem sparked concerns around Australia that they could face retaliation upon their arrival in Iran. 

US President Donald Trump joined the call for the federal government to intervene and help them. 

Behind the scenes, Burke and his department had travelled to Brisbane to speak with the women separately via a translator and learned that an initial five players out of the 26 players wanted to remain in Australia.

Federal police moved them to a secret location and they were granted humanitarian visas, while the remaining group flew out of Sydney on March 9.

Another player and a staff member later also accepted asylum, one of whom later chose to return to Iran.

After three more had a change of heart overnight, only three Iranian footballers who have claimed asylum are left in Australia.
