00:00A massive fireball was seen rising over the Iranian city of Isfahan following U.S. attacks earlier on Tuesday.
00:08The central city is home to major Iranian military bases, as well as the nuclear facility which the U.S.
00:15previously bombed in June.
00:17The attacks come despite Washington's pledge to scale down strikes to allow for talks aimed at ending the war to
00:23take place.
00:24Tehran says the U.S.'s demands are unrealistic and unacceptable and added that it's not involved in Pakistan-led efforts.
00:55Meanwhile, Iranian attacks are continuing to strike deep inside Israel, with strikes on central areas injuring several people.
01:03These retaliatory attacks are also targeting Gulf Arab neighbors, with authorities in the UAE announcing on Tuesday that they had
01:10intercepted aerial threats over Dubai.
01:12The price of oil continues to soar, with Brent crude, the international standard, spiking to around $113 a barrel, as
01:21Iran maintains its stronghold over the Strait of Hormuz.
01:25Constraints on oil exports via the waterway, where 20% of the world's oil typically passes, have caused the price
01:32of oil to increase by roughly 70% compared to pre-war figures.
