Iran escalates attacks in the Strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Iran has increased attacks on shipping in the vital Strait of Hormuz, as it changes tactics to increase pressure on the United States.

Two ships are reported to have sunk within 24 hours.

Separately, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen say they have attacked the headquarters of Saudi Arabia’s oil company, Aramco.

Severe food shortages have been reported in Yemen, by the UN, as the fighting continues to escalate.

And there are reports that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu discussed new joint strikes on Iran, although both have said they don’t favour any attacks before elections in their respective countries.
