Iran launched multiple drones toward Saudi Arabia and Kuwait amid the escalating Middle East conflict, expanding the war beyond Iran and Israel. Saudi Arabia’s defence ministry said two drones were intercepted over its oil-rich eastern region, while Kuwait’s National Guard shot down six drones targeting northern and southern areas. The attacks come as U.S. President Donald Trump sends conflicting messages about the war’s duration—calling it a “short excursion” but warning Iran of a massive response if oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted. The uncertainty has caused volatility in global markets and oil prices as fears grow of wider regional escalation. (PC: AFP)
