JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump has approved a nuclear deal that could allow Saudi Arabia to enrich its own nuclear fuel for civilian reactors.

News of the deal sparked outrage in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political opponents highlighted the risk that enriched nuclear fuel could potentially allow Riyadh to produce nuclear weapons.

The Trump administration launched its 11th night attack on Iran, expanding the scope of air raids to the country's west and south, according to Iranian state media.

Video footage verified by CNN showed a thick black cloud of smoke billowing near the airport in Behbahan, Khuzestan province.

Senior US lawmakers have urged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide a schedule and details of the military budget related to the war that has split the Senate and continues to take lives every day.

The following are the latest points related to the US-Iran war and other related events reviewed by CNN, Wednesday, July 22:

US-Saudi civil nuclear deal: The Trump-approved agreement sets limits on the inspections that can be carried out on Saudi nuclear programs.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously refused to provide details after a number of media outlets - including CNN - reported on the interim deal.

Iran fires missiles at Jordan: The Jordanian military shot down four drones originating from Tehran on Wednesday.

Two other missiles fell in two remote, uninhabited areas. There were no injuries or casualties in the incident.

The EU warned certain ships to avoid the Red Sea: Ships associated with Israel, the United States or Saudi Arabia should avoid the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden near Yemen, according to the EU naval mission on Wednesday.

This warning was issued after the Iranian-backed Houthi group in Yemen announced a blockade on Saudi shipping crossing Bab al-Mandeb - a vital maritime route in the region.

Four tankers heading for the strait have turned around, according to trade intelligence firm Kpler.

Oil prices soar: Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose 4% to $94.66 a barrel by 08:00 a.m. local time (ET).
