Israel says it has killed an Iranian navy chief overseeing the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz
Defence Minister Israel Katz says Alireza Tangsiri was "directly responsible" for blocking the Strait of Hormuz and has been "blown up" - more on the IRGC navy commander here
The strait - one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels - has been effectively blocked by Iran since the outbreak of the war last month. Earlier an influential global policy group said the blockade was "raising costs, weighing on demand and adding to inflationary pressures" across the globe
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump says Iran has been "militarily obliterated" and its negotiators have been "begging" to make a deal - Iran has denied that talks with the US are taking place. On Wednesday, an Iranian official issued five conditions to end the war - that came after Iran reportedly received a 15-point plan from the US
