The US-Israeli war on Iran reverberated across the region for a fourth day, with oil and gas prices surging and the world adjusting to a conflict that President Donald Trump has said could last for weeks.

Israel bombarded Tehran with a fresh wave of strikes on Tuesday, and hit a building in the city of Qom where Iranian clerics were meeting to elect a successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Israel’s Kan News reported. Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency said the building was attacked but wasn’t in use at the time.

The Islamic Republic fired missiles at countries including Qatar, Bahrain and Oman that host US bases, with Doha saying targets weren’t limited to military interests. Qatar and Iraq halted production at major energy sites, heightening concern over supply and prices.
