The UAE has strongly condemned the Iranian attack on Iraqi Kurdistan, while Houthis claim responsibility for a drone attack on the Aramco refinery in Jazan. Fars reports that Ghalibaf is scheduled to travel to Iraq on Wednesday, and Turkey’s Erdogan has urged Trump to keep Iran talks going.
Meanwhile, the UKMTO reports that a vessel was struck by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz. The Yemen army states it carried out 133 operations against Houthis in 24 hours, and Trump asserts that the Strait of Hormuz will be 'territory' of the US.
Additional developments include Israeli strikes in Gaza killing two people, alongside ongoing questions regarding how lethal the Houthis' military arsenal is. Trump admits to an Air Force One escape over an Iran threat, fires back at Iran over compensation, and claims that the 'US destroyed Iran’s nuclear programme.'
Reports also detail a sailor's 'horror' of fireballs and distress calls, the experience of living under occupation in Kfarshouba, questions on whether the US Iran June deal will be revised, and a US fighter jet refueling mid-air in the Middle East.
