Iranian Missile Attack on Oil Tanker

In a significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Qatar's Defence Ministry has reported that missiles launched from Iran struck an oil tanker within Qatar's territorial waters. This incident has raised alarms across the region, as it poses a threat to the international oil supply and regional stability.


US President's Stance.


Amidst the escalating conflict, US President Donald Trump has stated that Iran does not need to make a deal for him to end the war. He has expressed optimism, suggesting that the conflict could potentially be resolved within two to three weeks. This statement highlights the urgency of the situation and the international pressure to find a peaceful resolution.


Consequences in Kuwait.


The repercussions of the Iranian attack have also been felt in Kuwait. The Kuwaiti government has reported that the attack led to a "large fire" at the fuel tanks located at its international airport.
