5:13Now PlayingPresident Trump says US forces have 'obliterated' targets on Iran’s Kharg island which is crucial to the country's oil network.
Speaking to Sky News, military analyst Sean bell says "President Trump didn't target the oil and made a really big thing about that."
He adds: "If you look more widely, a lot of that oil goes to China, and therefore if he was to take that out, he might risk the ire of China and the whole thing starts to expand even further."
