New Delhi. Efforts to mediate the ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran have intensified, yet the situation remains precarious. President Donald Trump has announced a five-day pause on proposed attacks targeting Iran's energy and power infrastructure. In recent developments, Israel has reported missile launches from Iran, while Kuwait has claimed drone attacks.
This morning, the Israeli Defense Forces issued an emergency alert for its citizens, stating that additional missiles have been fired towards its territory from Iran, escalating the ongoing conflict. In a brief statement, the military confirmed that its air defense systems are actively working to intercept incoming missiles, and alerts have been issued in affected areas.
‘Kuwaiti Forces Responding to Attacks’
Meanwhile, within less than an hour, the Kuwaiti military reported that its air defense systems are responding to missile and drone attacks, urging the public to adhere to safety instructions issued by authorities.
Iran Claims Attacks as Well
An Iranian semi-official news agency reported new airstrikes targeting key energy infrastructure, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already volatile situation. According to Fars News Agency, two separate energy sites were targeted early Tuesday.
These attacks come at a time when President Trump has extended the deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz for Iran. He stated that the U.S. would refrain from attacking Iranian power plants for an additional five days.
