STORY: Thick plumes of dark smoke rose over Tehran on Monday (March 2) following a fresh wave of strikes, as U.S.-Israeli air attacks against Iran continue with no end in sight.

Footage captured large clouds of smoke billowing behind buildings in the Iranian capital, with explosions heard in the distance.

U.S. and Israeli strikes - and Iranian retaliation following the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei - sent shockwaves worldwide through sectors from shipping to air travel to oil, amid warnings of rising energy costs and disruption to business in the Gulf region.
