Israel confirms it did not tell the US it was going to strike Iran's South Pars facility

Energy prices have been soaring, as Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues and after Israel struck Iran's South Pars facility - the largest natural gas field in the world.

But in developing news overnight, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will hold off on any further attacks on the gas field, following a request form the US President. 

Meanwhile Israel's Haifa oil refinery has been damaged by what Israeli media describes as fallen shrapnel - following missile barrages from Iran.
