Satellite images have captured the extent of the joint US and Israeli attacks across Iran as all signs point to increased conflict in the region.

US and Israeli strikes have been targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities at key sites across the country.

President Donald Trump has signalled that the military campaign could last weeks.

"We haven't even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon," he told CNN.

Photos provided by satellite imagery companies Planet Labs and Vantor show serious damage to buildings, ships and tunnel systems.

Here, thick black plumes of smoke were seen rising from the naval base in Konarak in south-eastern Iran.

In this close-up of the base, a vessel was seen burning. 

The US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East and across the world, said 17 Iranian vessels, including its most operational submarine, were destroyed.

A ship was capsized off the base in the Gulf of Oman after a strike left the base charred.

"For decades, the Iranian regime has harassed international shipping," US Central Command head Brad Cooper said in a video on X on Wednesday.

"Today, there is not a single Iranian vessel underway in the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Gulf of Oman, and we will not stop."

Facilities were also destroyed at the base.

At the nearby airbase in Konarak, a precision air strike has damaged aircraft shelters. 

Black smoke and damage were seen at the Bandar Abbas Military Harbour – the main base and headquarters of the Iranian Navy.

The base is in a strategic position on the Strait of Hormuz.

The strait is a narrow waterway that allows passage to one-fifth of the world's oil supply.

This military base in Isfahan, a city in central Iran that also houses a nuclear facility, was hit by a strike.

A radar system was destroyed at the Zahedan Airbase in eastern Iran near the border with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Buildings and equipment were left in ruins after airstrikes at a drone base in Choqa Balk-e.

Smoke rose and buildings were crumbled at the Natanz Nuclear Facility, which was previously bombed by the US in June last year.

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog confirmed there was damage but no radioactive consequences from the attack.

"Based on the latest available satellite ​imagery, IAEA can now confirm some ​recent damage to entrance buildings of Iran's underground ‌Natanz ⁠Fuel Enrichment Plant," the International Atomic Energy Agency said on X.

Tunnels collapsed at the Tabriz North Missile Base in Iran's north-west, and they were also targeted in the US attack in June.

Raess Ali’s eye is swollen shut and he is missing teeth after the alleged incident.

The widow of a much loved rugby figure and photographer killed in the Bondi terror attack has pleaded for his camera to be returned after revealing it remains missing after the shooting.

Virginia Meagher said the camera belonging her husband Peter, 61, who was working at the Chanukah by the Sea event as a photographer disappeared after the attack in December.

She is asking for help in finding it.

"As you all know, my husband Peter's life was tragically taken at Bondi on 14 December. It is now apparent that someone, other than a known authority, picked up his camera from Archer Park," she said on Facebook.

"I would very much like to have his camera returned.

"If you know anything about the Canon camera, I'd love to hear from you."

She shared photos of her husband using the camera.

Peter's brother used his eulogy to deliver a poignant message to the NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on gun reform.

"Gun reform alone will not solve hatred or extremism, but an antisemite without a gun is just a hate-filled person," he said.

Peter was a highly decorated police detective as well as a loving family man and pillar of the Randwick rugby club.

Virginia said at his funeral: "Every text message, WhatsApp and voicemail from Peter begins with 'hi darling' and ends with 'I love you'."

Emergency services responded to a two-vehicle accident on Coast Rd, near Karitane.

The injured worker had his hand caught in machinery, losing a finger and part of a thumb.

Mercury says its $287m project can power 27,000 homes for about 30 years.

The Australian Government will start bus transit services from Qatar to the Saudi Arabian capital, in a bid to help Australians desperate to leave the war-torn Middle East.

Foreign Affairs and Trade Assistant Minister Matt Thistlewaite this morning confirmed DFAT will start operating shuttle buses for stranded Australians leaving from Doha, where the airspace is currently restricted, to Riyadh.

From there, Australians will be able to book a commercial flight out of the region.

"We are working to consider transfers from Kuwait as well, subject to a safety assessment," Thistlewaite said.

"It's a fast-moving situation and the airspace is opening and then closing.

"The best option for people to get out is on commercial flights.

"If they are offered a seat on a commercial flight, they should seriously consider taking that option."

Basic accommodation support in Riyadh will be provided to Australians by DFAT, Thistlewaite said.

The drive from Doha to Riyadh spans nearly 600 km and takes 6.5 hours.

A further 516 Australians returned home on four repatriation flights overnight, two of which landing in Sydney, another in Perth and one in Melbourne.

Passenger Zoe said her flight was "pretty empty".

"It wasn't that full and that was actually really upsetting. I feel really bad for the people who are still trying to get home," she said.

Since the conflict started, 1324 Australians have returned home safely from the region.

The government has also extended registration for 24-hour consular support to Bahrain, Lebanon and Qatar as the conflict expands.

That's in addition to support provided to Australians receiving consular support in Israel, Iran, the UAE and Kuwait.

The announcement comes as Emirates and Qatar Airways recommence a "reduced flight schedule" following the partial reopening of the region's airspace.

Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) today announced the "partial resumption of air navigation" in the country.

"This phase includes the operation of a limited numer of flights designated for passenger evacuation, in addition to the operation of air cargo flights," a QCAA spokesperson said.

Qatar Airways is coordinating a number of repatriation flights from Doha to London Heathrow, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Madrid, Rome Fiumicino and Frankfurt airports.

"Priority on these flights was given to stranded passengers with families, elderly passengers, and those with urgent medical and compassionate travel needs," A Qatar Airways spokesperson said.

"Each flight was pre-allocated by Qatar Airways directly to such affected passengers."

Emirates said it transported around 30,000 passengers out of Dubai yesterday and has increased services to the UK and India.

"The airline anticipates a return to 100 per cent of its network within the coming days, subject to airspace availability and the fulfilment of all operational requirements," an Emirates spokesperson said.

"Safety, as ever, remains paramount as is our duty of care."

One of the world's largest online pornographic content organisations is blocking access to its websites for all Australians in response to new age-check laws due to come into effect next week.

Canadian-owned adult content conglomerate Aylo, which owns sites including PornHub, RedTube, YouPorn and Tube8, is no longer accepting new account registrations and has begun blocking access for Australian users on several of its platforms.

The decision comes in response to the second phase of Australia's social media ban for under-16s.

The eSafety Commissioner's age-restricted material code will require adult content platforms to bolster age-verification measures, in order to prevent children from being exposed to age-inappropriate content online.

The legally enforceable code, due to come into effect on Monday, will require adult sites to implement facial age estimation, digital wallets and photo ID to ensure Australian children aren't being harmed by pornographic material.

Non-compliant platforms could face penalties of up to $49.5 million per breach.

In a statement to the Sydney Morning Herald, an Aylo spokesman said that from March 9, Australian users will be "presented with a safe for work experience when they view our platforms."

The spokesman argued Australia's approach "does not effectively protect minors, and instead creates harms relating to data privacy and exposure to illegal content on non-compliant platforms".

Instead, Aylo suggested age checks would be more effective if they were required by operators such as Apple, Google and Microsoft, rather than individual sites.

Under the laws, search engines like Google will have to blur explicit search results by default unless an adult is logged into their account.

Research by the eSafety Commission found that one in three children aged 10 to 17 has seen sexual images or videos online.

More than 70 per cent were found to have seen or heard violent content or self-harm material portraying suicide and disordered eating.

eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant warned children's emotional and psychological development and well-being are "at stake".

"We don't allow children to walk into bars or bottle shops, adult stores or casinos, but when it comes to online spaces where they are spending a lot of their time, there are no such safeguards," she said.

"Under these codes, if a young person searches the internet for suicide or self-harm content, the first result they see will be a helpline – not a harmful online rabbit hole.

"These obligations will help prevent exposure to potentially harmful content and direct at-risk children to real, lifesaving support."

Australia's age-restricted material codes follow in the footsteps of similar legislation in the UK, where "highly effective" age checks have been in place since July last year.

Just two weeks ago, a non-compliant pornographic site was fined GBP£1.35m ($2.6 million) by communications watchdog OfCom for failing to implement age checks.

The new rules represent the second phase of Australia's push to protect children online, following the under-16 social media ban that took effect in December.

The age-restricted material code also extends to search engines, social media platforms, pornography websites, app stores, gaming providers, and generative AI systems – including companion chatbots, in the hopes of reducing harm from high-impact violence, self-harm and disordered eating content.

South-east Queensland is in line for three days of drenching and Katherine in the Northern Territory is facing a flood disaster as twin tropical lows that saturated the country's north continues to dump torrential rain.

Far North Queensland was lashed by 300mm of rain in a single day yesterday as the slow-moving trough travelled across the state.

The Daintree region was hit with a deluge of 300 to 400mm of rain in just 24 hours, including more than 200 mm in six hours.

There is some reprieve for residents in northern areas like Cairns and Townsville, where most of the rain has passed and a severe weather warning has been cancelled.

The tropical low is trending toward Capricornia and Wide Bay and adjacent interior today, before moving into South East Queensland tomorrow.

The Bureau of Meteorology warning of "significant widespread flooding" over the next few days, with places like the Sunshine Coast expected to be lashed with 200 mm rain in the next 72 hours.

Heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding is likely in Bundaberg, Hervey Bay and Gladstone.

Gladstone was already battered by almost 130mm in six hours overnight.

"We are going to see the moisture associated with the remnants of this tropical low get spread across broad parts of eastern, central and the northern interior of Queensland," senior meteorologist Harry Clark said.

Brisbane is forecast to receive between 10 to 20mm of rain today, 15 to 70mm tomorrow and between 10 and 60mm on Monday.

A severe weather warning is in place for heavy rainfall in the Gulf Country, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders and North West districts.

Locations such as Georgetown, Hughenden, Richmond, Croydon, Gregory Springs and Forsayth could see six-hourly rainfall totals between 70 and 100 mm, with isolated totals up to 130 mm possible.

A flood watch is in place for most of Queensland, with major riverine flood warnings earmarked for the Flinders River, Thomson River and Coopers Creek, and Georgina River and Eyre Creek.

The torrential downpour saw the Daintree River swell to 13 metres on Thursday night, causing the local ferry in the Douglas Shire near Port Douglas to tear off its moorings.

"Our ferry came off its moorings and collided with another boat and pontoon," Douglas Shire Council Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said.

"At the moment we're waiting for the river to become safe so crews can go in and assess the damage.

"It's a big shock to our community because that's the only form access they have to Mossman and Port Douglas."

Major flooding inundates Katherine

Meanwhile, Katherine in the Northern Territory is facing its worst flood disaster in decades.

The Katherine River has already surpassed flood levels seen in 2000 at Katherine Bridge, where heights of 18.37 metres have been recorded.

That could surge as high as 19.20 metres by this evening, the Bureau has warned.

In nearby Nitmiluk, the river has flooded above the April 2006 flood level of 9.5m and rapidly rising.

A major flood warning is in place for the outback town, 300km south of Darwin, as well as nearby Nitmiluk, as the Katherine River rises rapidly.

Further rainfall is expected today, which may cause the river to swell even more.

A severe weather warning for the western Top End has been cancelled after heavy rainfall eased.

Parts of Arnhem Land were hit by between 100 to 155mm of rain in just six hours overnight.

Major flooding is expected along the Daly River from this afternoon.
