Iran and Hezbollah are escalating attacks on Israel as a wider fight over energy and infrastructure sharpens the war. On Sunday, Iran warned it would close the Strait of Hormuz immediately if the U.S. attacks Iranian power plants. President Donald Trump late Saturday set a 48-hour deadline to reopen the strait. Iran’s parliament speaker warned that Tehran also would target regional energy and desalination sites in retaliation. The war has taken a dangerous turn after Iranian missiles hit near a nuclear research area in southern Israel and Iran said its main nuclear enrichment site was struck Saturday.
