Download Iran threatens to completely shut off Strait of Hormuz
Iran has warned it will completely close the key Strait of Hormuz shipping route -- if President Trump follows through on his threat to bomb the country's power plants. A Cabinet Minister has said there is "no assessment to substantiate" a claim by Israel that Iran has long-range missiles capable of reaching London. One of the UK's largest energy suppliers, Centrica, has said an increase in household bills is "inescapable" if oil prices remain high due to the Iran war.
