11:11Now PlayingThe US has launched further strikes on Iran after Donald Trump declared that the contested Strait of Hormuz was open to all ship traffic except for the gulf state.
Iran state media has also accused the US of targeting civilian infrastructure during its most recent attacks.
The White House has denied this, instead citing that strikes were carried out 'exclusively on military targets, including military logistics infrastructure'.
Matthew Wright is joined by Middle East expert Jane Kinninmont and Rachel Johnson is joined by Dr David Wearing to react to the escalation.
