The United States and Israel continue their attacks on Iran, while Iran has retaliated by targeting U.S. military installations in Gulf countries. In response to the escalating tensions, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a stern warning to Gulf nations, urging them to follow Iran’s directives if they want the attacks to stop. He expressed outrage over adversaries using regional airspace to strike Iranian targets.
Pezeshkian specifically advised Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Jordan, and other Western allies not to grant the U.S. and Israel permission to use their airspace for attacks. He stressed that Iran would not tolerate strikes on its critical infrastructure, nuclear facilities, or economic centers and warned that retaliatory actions would continue until enemy installations were neutralized. He also stated that anyone aiding adversaries would face consequences.
Meanwhile, Iran recently announced that it would allow the safe passage of naval vessels belonging to India and its allied countries through the Strait of Hormuz. Following this, two Indian LPG tankers carrying over 90,000 tonnes of LPG safely traversed the strait on Saturday, according to central government sources.
Additionally, five more Indian tankers are reportedly waiting near UAE waters for Iran’s permission to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The developments come amid growing regional tensions, as global energy supply routes, particularly those through Hormuz, remain highly vulnerable to disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict.
