French President Emmanuel Macron has said that the war in Iran requires a "serious" approach, that doesn't change every day.

Speaking to reporters on a trip to South Korea, Macron says that "this is not a show. We are talking about war and peace and the lives of men and women".

"When you want to be serious you don't say every day the opposite of what you said the day before," he says, seemingly in reference to the Trump administration's mixed messages throughout the conflict.

At various times the Trump administration has suggested that a ceasefire was near, that the war had already been won or that the US was going to fight on.

"And maybe you shouldn't be speaking every day. You should just let things quieten down," he adds.

Kuwait's state-owned oil company, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, says its Mina al-Ahmadi refinery was hit by drones on Friday, according to the country's state news agency KUNA.

There were "fires in several operational units" as a result of the attack and emergency teams have been working to contain the blazes, KUNA has quoted the corporation as saying on X

The war in Iran has already come with a hefty price tag for the US.

Six days into the war last month, the Pentagon reported to lawmakers that the war had already cost them $11.3bn (£8.5bn).

As the war has drags on, the daily costs to the US have varied. US officials say costs have gone down due to Iran's weakening defence systems. But experts estimate the conflict is still coming with a bill of $385m (£291m) per day.

Take a listen to find out how that compares to the US's previous wars.

It's still very difficult to contact people inside Iran amid the internet outage, but some have managed to connect using satellite internet such as Starlink and other methods, though it comes at a high cost. Using or possessing Starlink can lead to up to two years in prison.

All of those that I speak to inside Iran are against the current establishment.

I asked a woman in her 20s in Tehran how she feels about the attack on a bridge in Karaj. She started crying midway through the voice message.

"I feel helpless. [Trump] posts shamelessly about attacking our bridge. I don’t know how much further this is going to go. Why is no one standing up to him? He’s really taking us back to the Stone Age," she said.

A Tehran resident in his 20s said: "We’ll end up with a ruined country. I am more disappointed and saddened that I am in the middle of a situation where I see Iran being destroyed and I can’t do anything. My country is being destroyed more and more every day."

The strike on the bridge in Karaj has worried one local resident, a man in his 20s who says he's "pro-war".

"That bridge could have reduced the traffic in the city… it was destroyed in the second strike. This strike has got me worried. I don’t know why they hit it," he said.

A woman in her 40s in Tehran, who is also pro-war, said: "I was really surprised that they hit a bridge… but I think they must have a reason for it."

Trump says the US military "hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran".

In a Truth social post a short while ago, Trump praised US forces as the "greatest and most powerful" saying they would target "bridges next, then electric power plants".

This comes after an air strike on a bridge under construction in Karaj, a city west of the Iranian capital Tehran, killed eight people and injuring nearly 100.

The "new regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, fast," Trump added.

This is his post in full:

"Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP"

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on his X account that "striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender".

Araghchi said that the strike on a bridge in Karaj, "only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray" and what will "never recover" is "damage to America's standing".

Araghchi said in a separate post on X that with regards to Donald Trump’s remark of taking Iran back to the "Stone Age", that the difference between then and now is "there was no oil or gas being pumped in the Middle East back then".

"Are POTUS and Americans who put him in office sure that they want to turn back the clock?" Araghchi said.

It’s been confirmed that a UN Security Council vote on a resolution on the Strait of Hormuz, the subject of negotiations for weeks, will take place on Friday at 11:00 eastern US time (15:00 GMT).

Bahrain, the council's current rotating president, put forward the resolution, which authorises member states “to use all defensive means necessary and commensurate with the circumstances,” to secure transit passage in the Strait of Hormuz for at least six months.

Originally the resolution was under chapter 7 of the UN charter - authorising the use of military force - but this was removed due to the objections of Russia and China during negotiations.

However, the wording of the resolution may still bother Beijing and Moscow enough to exercise their veto - they abstained on previous drafts that condemned Iran and mentioned the strait.

Sorting out the mess that this war has left the Strait of Hormuz in will be, by necessity, a delicate and complex task.

Iran controls the majority of the coastline opposite the Strait. That means it can, if it chooses, hide any number of low-tech weapons with which to ambush shipping.

There’s a reason why navies don’t want to send their warships too close to that coastline: they fear being attacked.

So most military analysts agree that force alone will not work in reopening the Strait. It will have to be by negotiation, possibly through a third party like Pakistan and then ultimately it will need a green light from Tehran.

That will be a bitter pill for Iran’s enemies to swallow.

But 34 days of devastating US and Israeli airstrikes have failed to topple the Islamic Republic and every day that it survives deepens its resolve.

With Iran in no mood to make concessions it may decide to hold out for a higher price - either financially or strategically - before agreeing to allow all shipping safe passage once more.

Welcome back to our live coverage. We will continue to bring you the latest news and analysis from our teams across the Middle East and around the world as the conflict nears the end of its fifth week.

Here's a recap of what has been happening:

• A US strike on an Iranian bridge connecting the city of Karaj to the country's capital Tehran killed eight people and a separate strike caused major explosions at the country's Isfahan missile base on Thursday
• US President Donald Trump warned Iran to "make a deal" before there is "nothing left" while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghci said "striking civilian structures" would "not compel Iranians to surrender"
• Oil prices continued to rise, closing the day 11% higher in the US as traders feared prolonged disruptions to supplies
• After a 40-nation call arranged by UK Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper, the European Union may be scaling up its naval force to protect Strait of Hormuz shipping routes

• New strikes were reported in Israel from Iran and Yemen, while Qatar and Kuwait intercepted drones and both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates reported missiles and drones heading into their airspace, and Iran saw strikes in Tehran and Karaj
