Six months of Iran war assessed

Six months into the US-Israel-Iran war, the conflict shows no clear winner, with the Strait of Hormuz disrupted and global energy markets in turmoil.

A visual timeline reveals how the war escalated from initial strikes to a broader regional confrontation.

The conflict has already cost UK households and businesses nearly £10 billion, adding £190 million a week in energy costs.

Hundreds of heating oil customers are set to receive compensation after prices surged at the start of the war.
