tensions in the middle east have escalated, after iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles towards israel. almost all the weapons were shot down by israeli, american and allied forces. iran's attacks were in response to a suspected israeli strike on iran's embassy compound in syria at the beginning of the month. this is the first time iran has attacked israel directly, although the two countries have been at loggerheads for years. all this will rattle investors and oil markets. the nikkei index is down by more than i% this morning. earlier we saw the australian market opening lower. business reporter suranjana tewari is across the story from oui’ newsroom. oil prices expected to rise at the start of the asia trading day. although a lot of this has been priced in. on friday, oil prices were at a six—month high. that's because investors really expected that iran would retaliate on that suspected israeli attack at the beginning of the month. traders say any gains will depend on the scale of israel's response. i think we'll see volatility, i think that will be on the framework. if

so let's start in the middle east, where this weekend iran attacked israel. but what actually happened? well, some context first. hamas, a group seen by the uk government as terrorists have been in conflict with israel since october. iran's provided hamas with weapons and training and have been in what's described as a shadow war with israel for years, where they attack each other�*s assets without admitting responsibility, until now. over the weekend, iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles at israel in what it said was retaliation for a strike on one of its government buildings in syria earlier this month. israel has admitted attacking iran in the past, but haven't said that they're behind this one. israel has said that most of the missiles were successfully intercepted, some of them by the uk and us airforces, but have promised to respond. however, israel's allies, like the us and uk, have urged it to avoid any escalation, and the uk says efforts are focused on ensuring a pause in fighting and getting aid into gaza. a really lovely story for you
