US President Donald Trump and Iran have escalated their war by threatening to attack energy facilities in the Gulf, a move that could deepen the regional crisis and impact global markets.
Air raid sirens sounded in Israel on Sunday morning after Iran launched attacks on southern Israeli towns, prompting the Israeli military to strike back at Tehran.
Trump has threatened to 'obliterate' Iran's power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not fully reopened within 48 hours, a significant escalation of the conflict that has already killed over 2,000 people.
Iran has warned that it will attack US infrastructure, including energy facilities in the Gulf, if Trump carries out his threat, which has sparked concerns of a global economic crisis.
Oil prices have surged to their highest in nearly four years, with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, causing the worst oil crisis since the 1970s.
