Iranian drones hit the US embassy in Riyadh as Tehran continued to launch waves of retaliatory strikes at the Gulf and Israel, while Israeli soldiers began operating in southern Lebanon on the fourth day of an increasingly regional war in the Middle East.

The drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh caused a minor fire, prompting the diplomatic mission to tell Americans to distance themselves from the compound. The attack followed an earlier Iranian drone strike on the US embassy in Kuwait, as Iran continued to target US bases, facilities and personnel in Arab Gulf states.

Energy Minister Tim Hodgson says he's starting to get calls from countries about how Canadian energy producers can fill the gap amid the conflict in Iran, which is driving up oil and gas prices.​

"The world right now is feeling incredibly insecure as a result of this weekend," Hodgson said in an interview with CBC News. "So we've already seen an uptick in inquiries about how quickly Canada can expand its clean and conventional energy exports." ​

Hodgson did not say which countries were calling, but he acknowledged that it could take some time for Canadian producers to respond.

"You don't change the amount of production of LNG or oil in days," he said.
