US President Donald Trump has threatened more strikes on Iran as the United States presses for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after Kuwait responded to a new round of drone attacks from Iran, and a tanker was struck in the strategic waterway.
Middle East Tensions Escalate
The US State Department has issued new security alerts for Americans in 10 countries in the region to exercise heightened caution due to the escalating tensions with Iran. The warnings cover Bahrain, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates.
Meanwhile, Israel carried out heavy strikes on the Gaza Strip after the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to disarm. The strikes overnight in Gaza followed evacuation warnings by Israel’s military, which said it had struck Hamas targets across the territory and dismantled five Hamas storage facilities.
The situation in the Middle East remains volatile, with the US and Iran engaging in a war of words. The US has accused Iran of breaking a truce and killing American soldiers, while Iran has denied these allegations.
