President Donald Trump has said the US will "obliterate" Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not open before a 48-hour deadline.

Meanwhile, Israel has said it launched a wave of strikes on the Iranian capital overnight.

An Iranian missile strike hit two southern Israeli towns close to a nuclear facility on Saturday.
