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, destroying an Italian unmanned aircraft. No casualties were reported.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged neighboring states to expel foreign forces, citing 'ample evidence' that US bases on their soil are launching attacks. He told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed the war will end only when Tehran is certain it won’t restart - and reparations are paid.
The conflict began Feb 28 after US-Israeli strikes killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Since then, Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz - disrupting 20% of global oil shipments - sending energy prices soaring 40%.
Italy downplayed the Kuwait attack, insisting 'we are not at war with anyone.' Meanwhile, rockets hit Baghdad International Airport, wounding five. The Pentagon reports over 15,000 targets struck in Iran; Iranian health officials cite over 1,200 dead.
