Iran keeps up pressure on oil infrastructure as concerns of global energy crisis grow

Israel and Iran are trading attacks as Iran squeezes global oil supplies by choking traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. On Wednesday, Iran targeted a ship and oil sites across the Gulf, and an oil field in Saudi Arabia. Kuwait and Saudi Arabia said they intercepted Iranian drones. Israel struck Tehran again and explosions were also heard in Beirut and in southern Lebanon after Israel said it had started a new assault on targets related to the Iran-linked militia Hezbollah. The top two stories of a building in Beirut were engulfed in flames.
