The US-Iran war has entered its fourth week, with both sides escalating attacks on each other's critical infrastructure. Iran and its ally Hezbollah launched strikes on Israel, targeting a secretive nuclear research site in the Negev Desert, wounding scores of people. Israeli leaders visited the site, praising a "miracle" that no one was killed.
The US and Iran have threatened to target each other's energy and infrastructure, with Iran warning that the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for oil exports, would be "completely closed" if the US follows through on its threat to attack Iranian power plants.
A hospital in southern Israel received at least 175 wounded from the strikes, while a hospital in Andimeshk, Iran, was also hit, with patients and doctors evacuated to another city. The death toll in the war has surpassed 1,500 in Iran, with 15 people killed in Israel.
The US has lifted some sanctions on Iranian oil at sea in an attempt to relieve pressure on energy prices, but the situation remains volatile, with the US and its allies in Europe and Asia relying heavily on oil imports.
