Following the Sunday US bombing of key nuclear installations in Iran the middle-east conflict is assuming global ramifications.
Senior Iranian State officials will be holding talks with Russia on Monday over the possibility of cutting off sea traffic in the Hormuz Strait a significant shipping line for the global oil industry.
The Iranian Supreme Council which always insists its nuclear buildup is for civilian use has now stated it wouldn’t be backing down without retaliation to the US attack.
