Iran has strongly condemned what it says was a Ukrainian attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, summoning Ukraine's diplomats after the incident reportedly killed one sailor and injured another.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the strike targeted Russian vessels transporting Iran-linked military cargo. He also accused Russia of assisting Iran's military operations in the Middle East by providing satellite intelligence.
Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise in the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers have been accused of setting fire to the Al-Rahma Mosque in Qusra, while Israeli forces carried out widespread raids that reportedly resulted in the arrest of dozens of Palestinians.
The Israeli military also announced plans to demolish homes belonging to Palestinians accused of involvement in a shooting that killed two Israeli soldiers. Rights groups have criticized the policy, describing it as collective punishment.
Elsewhere, Kuwait condemned Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and reaffirmed its support for Saudi Arabia following recent attacks on a Saudi vessel. The Houthis have intensified attacks after declaring a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia.
In another major development, U.S. media reported that President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. military to pause planned strikes on Iran, citing concerns over depleting American air defense missile stockpiles and allowing more room for diplomatic efforts.
The conflict continues to evolve as diplomatic tensions, military operations, and regional instability spread across the Middle East and beyond.
