Iran warned other countries Sunday to stay out of its war with the United States and Israel - hours after a drone struck the Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait, hosting US and Italian troops.
The attack destroyed an Italian unmanned aircraft but caused no casualties. Rome downplayed the incident, insisting Italy is 'not at war with anyone.'
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged neighboring states to expel 'foreign aggressors' and warned against escalation - including during calls with French officials. He stated the war ends only when Iran is certain it won’t restart and reparations are paid.
Global oil prices surged 40% after Iran choked off the Strait of Hormuz - carrying 20% of global oil exports. The International Energy Agency announced emergency releases from strategic reserves across Asia-Oceania, with Europe and the Americas to follow.
US President Donald Trump said Iran wants to negotiate - but he refuses until terms improve. Araghchi denied seeking talks, citing US betrayal during prior diplomacy. Israeli forces claim thousands of Iranian targets remain active.
