Iran fired drones toward Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as tensions in the Middle East escalate with no signs of abatement. The Saudi Defence Ministry reported destroying drones over the oil-rich eastern region, while Kuwait's National Guard shot down attacking drones in both northern and southern areas.
This development comes amid conflicting signals from US President Donald Trump regarding the war's duration. Trump's warnings about potential US retaliation against any disruption in the Strait of Hormuz add to the uncertainty, causing oil prices to fluctuate sharply.
The conflict has severely impacted global oil supply, disrupted business operations, and prompted evacuations. Despite diplomatic challenges, Iran asserts its readiness for a prolonged war, dismissing hopes for imminent resolution.
