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
