Regional conflict is erupting in the Middle East - as the US and Israel ramp up aggression against Iran.

Tehran has fired across surrounding states in retaliation for the killing of its Supreme Leader, with the US continuing bombardment, as Israel targets Lebanon.

The White House says three US soldiers have died and it expects more casualties in coming weeks.

MFAT says least 1750 New Zealanders are in the region, more than a thousand in the UAE. 

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Luxon confirmed New Zealand stands with the people of Iran during this conflict.
