    Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they've targeted fuel and military equipment facilities belonging to the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, in a further escalation of the conflict between the two sides.
    It comes in response to a fresh round of US strikes on southern Iran where the US Central Command says it's hit dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas.
    The US has also resumed blockading Iranian ports to stop ships using them.
    and former St Kilda star Nicky Winmar has been removed from the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
    Earlier this month, the 60 year old was found guilty of three counts of unlawful assault and common law assault.
    AFL Commission Chair, Craig Drummond says "violence against women has no place" and is "not in the values the Australian Football Hall of Fame seeks to uphold".
    Winmar is a Noongar man, and a statue commemorating his iconic stand against racism was removed from Perth Stadium last week.
