Kharg Island: What role does it play in Iran’s economy?
The White House deflects questions about US threat to hit Iranian energy infrastructure. President Trump expects Iran to make a deal to end the war.
He has said he'd strike targets including electricity plants, and Iran's main oil-exporting site, Kharg Island.
Presenter Andrew Peach examines what this all means for Iran and its neighbours in the Middle East.
