Iran fires on targets across Mideast while Israel and US hit Tehran as war shows no signs of slowing

  • On Friday, Iran launched missile and drone attacks against the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel, striking Kuwait's Mina al-Ahmadi oil refinery as the regional war entered its fifth week.
  • Tehran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a conduit for one-fifth of global oil, has crippled energy infrastructure and sent Brent crude prices surging to around $109 a barrel.
  • British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper convened around 40 nations demanding the waterway's "immediate and unconditional" reopening, while the World Bank warned of mounting risks to global inflation, jobs, and food security.
  • The U.N. Security Council will vote Saturday on a Bahrain-proposed resolution to authorize defensive action, though Russia, China, and France expressed opposition to approving the use of force.
  • French President Emmanuel Macron warned that reopening the strait by force is unrealistic without coordination with Iran, as President Donald Trump maintains harsh rhetoric regarding "key targets" with no clear exit strategy.
