A massive fire has engulfed a major tower in Kuwait City as the regional conflict enters its second week, with reports of missile and drone attacks continuing across the Gulf. Amidst the escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump launched a verbal attack on UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, accusing him of attempting to “join wars after we’ve already won.” Trump further dismissed British military support, stating that the U.S. does not need UK aircraft carriers. These remarks follow reports that the British carrier HMS Prince of Wales has been placed on high alert for potential deployment.
In Tehran, intense aerial bombardments targeted key oil depots, causing massive explosions that residents described as turning night into day. Simultaneously, Israel expanded its operations in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah strongholds and issuing evacuation warnings for Beirut’s southern suburbs. A strike on a hotel in central Beirut reportedly killed four people, as Israel claimed to have successfully neutralized key commanders of the IRGC’s Quds Force. The situation remains volatile as major powers trade rhetoric while military operations intensify on the ground. (BBC)
