U.S. President Donald Trump says he has pressured around seven countries to send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open as fears of a global energy crisis persist and Iranian attacks and threats have choked off shipping in the vital waterway. The U.S. and Israel continued striking targets in Iran on Monday, while Israel has intensified operations against Iran-backed militants in Lebanon, where more than 1 million people have been displaced. U.N. peacekeepers say Israeli ground forces have massed near the border. Iran has responded with drone and missile attacks across the region. Officials say the war has killed at least 1,300 people in Iran, 880 in Lebanon and 12 in Israel.
