BBC visits key Dubai port in Iran's firing line
Trade through the Middle East's biggest port has been hit hard since Iran began its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz - one of the world's most important global shipping routes.
Oil prices rose to a peak of $120 (£89.2) a barrel on Monday and experts have told the BBC they are worried about a big drop in food coming into the region if the US-Israel war with Iran continues.
BBC correspondent Nick Beake reports from Dubai's Port of Jebel Ali, which has been in the firing line since Iran responded to US-Israeli strikes by attacking Gulf states with links to the US.
US President Trump has since warned on social media that "death, fire and fury will reign upon" Iran if it does anything that stops the flow of oil within the strait.
