At least 15 people were killed after an air attack hit a factory in Iran’s central city of Isfahan, reports said on Saturday. The strike came as the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to escalate. US President Donald Trump urged countries including the UK, China, France, Japan, and South Korea to send warships to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open. The key waterway carries about 20% of global oil shipments. Meanwhile, missiles and drones were reported across the Middle East, including attacks near the US Embassy in Baghdad. Global oil prices have risen sharply due to the ongoing conflict.
