Israel struck Iran’s nuclear facilities hours after threatening to “escalate and expand” its campaign against Tehran on Friday. Iran vowed to retaliate and struck a base in Saudi Arabia, wounding U.S. service members and damaging planes.
A month into the war, however, there appeared to be a breakthrough as Tehran agreed to allow humanitarian aid and agricultural shipments through the Strait of Hormuz in response to a UN request. Ali Bahreini, the country’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, said Iran agreed to “facilitate and expedite” such movement.
The vital waterway usually handles a fifth of the world’s oil shipments and nearly a third of the world’s fertiliser trade. While markets and governments have largely focused on blocked oil and natural gas supplies, restrictions on fertiliser ingredients and trade threaten farming and food security worldwide.
“This measure reflects Iran’s continued commitment to supporting humanitarian efforts and ensuring that essential aid reaches those in need without delay,” Bahreini said on the social platform X. The UN earlier announced a task force to address the ripple effects that the war has had on aid delivery.
The Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base wounded at least 12 American troops, according to two US officials familiar with the situation, quoted by the Associated Press. Two of them were seriously hurt, according to one of the officials. Both of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters. Several refuelling aircraft were damaged
Iran launches more missiles targeting Israel
Israel’s military said early Saturday that Iran fired missiles targeting the country.
The latest missiles follow an earlier salvo that killed 1 person and injured more across Israel late Friday and into Saturday.
Sirens sounded in northern Israel, along the border with Lebanon, where rocket and drone attacks from Hezbollah have been constant during the war.
Palestinian authorities say Israeli forces killed 3 people in the West Bank
Hundreds attended the funeral on Friday of a 22-year-old man who was killed overnight during an Israeli raid in the Qalandiya refugee camp area in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
During the funeral, masked mourners carrying weapons shot in the air. The Israeli army raided the camp again, and the Palestinian ministry said another man was killed.
In a separate incident on Friday evening, a 15-year-old boy died after being shot during a raid on the Dheisheh refugee camp, near Bethlehem, the ministry said.
Israel’s military said that “violent disturbances” occurred during two distinct incidents in the Qalandiya area, including people throwing stones at troops. Soldiers responded with live fire toward “key instigators, and hits were identified,” the military said in a statement.
Trump says he really believes he’s a peacemaker
The president made the comment when he was asked what he would like his legacy to be. He responded by saying that “it doesn’t sound right for me to say this, but I’d love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker.”
He added, “I really believe I’m a peacemaker. It doesn’t seem it right now, but I think I’m a peacemaker.”
15 US troops wounded, 5 seriously, in Iranian attack on Saudi base
At least 15 American service members were wounded in the attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, according to two US officials familiar with the situation quoted by Reuters.
Five of the troops were seriously wounded, one of the officials said. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters.
Trump says economy will take off like a ‘rocket ship’ after Iran war
The president said in his speech at the FII Priority Summit in Miami that economic growth would surge once the war ends, suggesting that the world would benefit from Iran no longer pursuing nuclear weapons or using terrorist proxies.
“And I think you’re going to see a rocket ship, because we won’t have that dark cloud hanging over our head,” Trump said.
The president played down recent declines in the stock market, saying “It hasn’t been that bad” and that he thought oil prices were going to be higher than they are now.
