Kuwait came under intense Iranian fire on Saturday, with strikes hitting an oil facility, a power and water desalination plant, and sparking multiple fires across the country. Kuwait Petroleum Corporation confirmed damage and injuries at the oil site, while firefighters and a worker were hurt battling the blazes. It's the second attack on a power and water plant in two days, critical since Kuwait relies on desalination for 90% of its drinking water. Flights at Kuwait International Airport were briefly suspended amid the strikes.

Iran's IRGC unleashed a new wave of strikes across the Gulf, hitting bases in Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, and claiming an attack on a US command center in Syria's al-Tanf region — though Damascus has denied that strike occurred. In Kuwait, Iran says it hit weapons depots, HIMARS launchers, and a radar system, sparking a large fire. Qatar intercepted missiles aimed at Al Udeid airbase, wounding four people including a child. Iran says the strikes punish the US for hitting civilian infrastructure — a claim Washington disputes.

A daring Iran plan could trigger total war in West Asia. As Iran and America exchange fire and heated warnings, what really is brewing behind the scenes? What will the next move be? How far will the two sides go?


Daring Iran plan to seize US Base, kidnap American soldiers, could trigger total war

Yemen’s Houthis just dropped a warning that’s shaking energy markets: if this war widens, oil could hit $200 a barrel. The reason? They’re threatening both chokepoints — the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb. That’s two straits, one massive oil shock risk. Brent is already climbing and nearing $87 as tensions spread across the region. For traders it’s panic. For drivers it’s the fear of $10 gas.


Houthis warn: Oil could hit $200 if war widens

The war in Ukraine has taken a terrifying turn. Watch how Russia is using the massive, three-tonne FAB-3000 glide bomb to flatten entire frontline positions from miles away. UN's announcement that the past month was the deadliest for civilians in four years, Kyiv’s daring drone strikes against oil refineries deep inside Russia, and the emergency creation of a nine-nation European ballistic missile defence coalition. Watch the latest from the battlefield in this story.

The math just changed for global energy. With two wars now hitting near the same waters, tankers are becoming targets. Reports say UAE ships were struck in Omani waters, and talk of a Trump blockade plan with tolls on the Strait of Hormuz is rattling markets. This narrow passage moves about 20% of the world’s oil, so every incident hits fuel prices, shipping costs, and refineries far from the conflict. 


Two wars, one chokepoint: Energy crisis deepens

Tensions are flaring again over one of the world’s most important waterways. Iran has hit back at US claims and declared itself the "true guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran is even mulling a bill to formalise its control, and there’s talk of tolls for ships passing through. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing Gulf allies to reimburse the US for protecting shipping in the region. With nearly 20% of the world’s oil passing through Hormuz, this isn’t just a political spat. It’s about trade, fuel prices, and who gets to call the shots on a 33km-wide chokepoint that the whole world watches.


Iran vs US over Hormuz: 'We are the true guardians' 

Russia launched one of its latest large-scale attacks on Ukraine, firing 135 drones and 10 missiles as the war entered a new phase of escalation. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Kyiv that Moscow would respond "in kind" to Ukrainian actions. Meanwhile, Ukraine's allies pledged additional air-defence support, while Kyiv agreed a roadmap to acquire 16 Rafale fighter jets and advanced SAMP/T NG air-defence systems. The first Rafales are expected to enter service by 2028-2029.

The Russia-Ukraine war continues to intensify as a Russian drone strike hit Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and injuring several others. The latest attack comes as the United Nations warns that June recorded the highest monthly civilian casualty toll since the early months of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. According to the UN, 265 civilians were killed and 1,816 injured during June alone. Meanwhile, Ukraine says it has expanded attacks on Russian military logistics, including strikes targeting supply routes linked to occupied Crimea.

Russia has intensified its attacks across Ukraine, leaving at least 26 people dead within 48 hours as cities and civilian areas come under heavy bombardment. In response, Ukraine has launched a new phase of its drone campaign, targeting Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers instead of focusing solely on refineries. More than 20 Russian-linked oil tankers were reportedly struck within 72 hours, raising concerns about disruptions to Moscow's oil exports and revenue streams. The strikes could have major implications for the war, global energy markets, and sanctions enforcement.

The fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire is facing its biggest test yet. After attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States launched strikes on more than 80 targets linked to Iran's military infrastructure. President Donald Trump amplified support for the operation on social media, while Tehran warned of consequences and accused Washington of violating the post-war understanding. With shipping risks now rated severe, oil markets, global trade routes and regional security are once again under intense pressure as fears of a broader escalation grow.

Kyiv endured a third straight night of Russian strikes that killed seven people, with fresh explosions reported in Kyiv and Kharkiv. As the attacks intensified, Zelensky pressed NATO leaders for more air defence systems, warning that civilians are bearing the brunt. Ukraine also stepped up long-range strikes inside Russia, hitting what Zelensky called "every major Russian refinery," including the country's largest. Trump said he spoke with both Zelensky and Putin. With escalation on both sides, the war is entering another dangerous phase.

Ukraine says it has exhausted Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles, leaving Kyiv vulnerable to ballistic strikes as Russia steps up large-scale attacks that included waves of drones and missiles hitting Kharkiv and Sumy. This video explains how Patriot system works, why PAC-3 shortages raise risk, and why Kyiv is urgently appealing to nearly 40 partners for transfers.  Russia’s latest missile strike on the Ukrainian capital, which left at least 12 people dead and nearly 50 injured, has laid bare a harsh reality: Ukraine has all but exhausted its supply of Patriot interceptors used to defend against ballistic missiles.

Trump says Putin and Zelenskyy both want the war settled. But on the ground, the story is different. Zelenskyy tells NATO that Kyiv brings "extraordinary defensive capability" — even as reports warn of a critical shortage of Patriot missiles leaving cities exposed. 


Russia-Ukraine war: Russia exploits interceptor gap to intensify strikes

The war is escalating on both fronts. Ukraine says it has struck deep inside Russia, while Moscow responded with a deadly ballistic attack on Kyiv that killed at least 8 people in Vyshneve. President Zelensky called it "ballistic terror" and said civilians are paying the price. At the same time, Zelensky is set to meet President Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara, where air defense will be top of the agenda. In a blunt admission, the NATO chief said the alliance is facing an interceptor shortage for Ukraine. As missiles fly both ways, the pressure to get more air defense to Kyiv has never been higher.
