An Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be dangerous and 'not good for anybody,' the European Union's top diplomat said on Monday.
'The concerns of retaliation and this war escalating are huge, especially closing of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran is something that would be extremely dangerous and not good for anybody,' Kaja Kallas told reporters ahead of a meeting with EU foreign ministers.
Iran's Press TV reported on Sunday that Iran's Supreme National Security Council needed to make a final decision on whether to close the strait, after parliament was reported to back the measure. About 20 percent of global oil and gas demand flows through the channel.

US Issues ‘Worldwide Caution' for Americans as Middle East Tensions Escalate
Against the backdrop of the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, the US has issued a Worldwide Caution Security Alert to American citizens living or traveling abroad. The security alert, released by the US Department of State, urges American citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution amid the mounting tensions in the Middle East. 'The conflict between Israel and Iran has resulted in disruptions to travel and periodic closure of airspace across the Middle East. There is the potential for demonstrations against US citizens and interests abroad,' the security alert read. 'The Department of State advises US citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution,' it added. The updated security alert came on the heels of the US intervention in the Iran-Israel conflict, by providing direct military support to Israel in order to eliminate Tehran's nuclear capabilities. Early on Sunday, the US targeted three key nuclear facilities in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, with bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles. The US President, Donald Trump, announced a 'very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran.' He also declared that Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities 'have been completely and totally obliterated,' warning Tehran of future attacks if it retaliated. On its part, Tehran accused the US of launching a 'dangerous war' on Iran amid ongoing diplomatic efforts, saying that it reserves the right to defend itself with full force. Moreover, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, warned that the US 'outrageous' attacks will have 'everlasting consequences.' Short link : Post Views: 3

Israel says it struck targets in Tehran, including notorious Evin Prison
The office of Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Monday that the Israeli military was carrying out strikes on Tehran, including on the Evin Prison, which he said holds political prisoners and opponents of the Islamic Republic, as tensions mount between the two foes. Among the targets Israel is said to have hit on Monday was the nuclear facility of Fordow. Fordow was reportedly hit again according to the spokesperson for Qom Province's Crisis Management Headquarters said according to semi-official news agency Tasnim, a day after the US struck the same target. The official added that there will be no danger to residents in the area. Iran for its part launched around 15 Iranian missiles on Monday towards Israel, according to Israeli media. Earlier on Monday, loud explosions were heard in Jerusalem earlier after the Israeli military warned that a fresh barrage of missiles had been launched from Iran. Around 10 minutes after announcing the missiles had been identified, the military said 'additional missiles were launched' towards Israel and urged people to take cover. Sirens sounded for over 30 minutes. The Magen David Adom rescue service reported no immediate casualties. The Israeli army later said that people can leave protected agencies in a signal that the Iranian threat was over. Meanwhile, loud blasts were heard in northern Tehran, according to an AFP journalist. Iran's Red Crescent reported that an Israeli strike hit near its building in northern Tehran on Monday, as fighting between Iran and Israel raged for the 11th day. 'New attack around the Red Crescent... building,' the emergency service said in a post on its Telegram channel accompanied by a video of smoke rising from the site of the attack. Iranian media reported that the Israeli strikes hit a power supply system in Tehran, triggering outages in some areas around the city. The power distribution line in northern Tehran 'was damaged, causing outages in some areas,' Fars news agency reported. Israel's defense minister Israel Katz later said that the Israeli military is now attacking with 'unprecedented intensity' targets in central Tehran.
