Middle East

In the first days of the war, a number of reports in US media portrayed the Kurds as being armed by the US and also claimed they had launched an offensive against Iran.

Kuwait, like many other countries in the region, has not been spared by the Islamic regime despite having no relations with Israel.

Meanwhile, Iraq’s Defense Ministry claimed it had unearthed rockets appearing to be Iranian-made 107 mm types that were ready to be fired at the Kurdistan Region.

Trump also threatened to attack Kharg Island and the desalination plants that supply clean water in Iran.

Hezbollah has denounced the decision, while Berri’s Amal party joined Hezbollah ministers in boycotting a cabinet session this week.

According to the IDF, over 80 munitions were dropped on weapon production, research, and development sites responsible for creating weapons used to attack Israel.

"We do not know the origin of the projectile. We have launched an investigation to determine all of the circumstances," UNIFIL said.

While the decision has not yet been made, Trump remains open to the idea, US officials told WSJ. However, he is taking into account the danger such an operation would pose to US troops. 

According to Rudaw media, the IRGC threatened that all Israeli and US-tied universities in the region have been deemed "legitimate targets" in the ongoing war.
