The US treasury secretary has told Sky News that the US Navy will be escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

The conflict in the Middle East just gets better and better for Vladimir Putin.

In a war increasingly determined by the flow and price of oil, one country is already emerging as a winner - and it's not even a combatant.

Serbia, a NATO partner and candidate for EU membership, has bought Chinese missiles for its air force.

The UK is considering possible options to help defend shipping in the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian attacks, the defence secretary has said.

Iran's new supreme leader has tried to turn the page on this conflict - but his demands are unlikely to be listened to.

Vladimir Putin's "hidden hand" is likely helping Iran respond to Donald Trump's war, the UK defence secretary has said, as it emerged that Iranian-linked drones hit a base in Iraq where some British troops are located.

Evidence is growing that outdated US intelligence was "likely" to blame for the attack on a school in southern Iran which killed more than 170 people, most of them children.

Kim Jong Un has been photographed firing guns with his teenage daughter as part of a drive by the dictator to modernise North Korea's military.
