Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Friday that the Israeli military will expand and intensify its strikes against Iran in direct response to Tehran's continued missile bombardment of Israeli civilians.
"The Prime Minister and I warned the Iranian terrorist regime to stop firing missiles at Israel's civilian population," Katz declared at a briefing. The warning was ignored. "Despite these warnings, the firing continued, and as a result, the Israeli army's attacks against Iran will intensify and expand to additional targets and areas that help the regime build and use weapons against Israeli citizens."
Ukraine is close to clinching several security agreements — including with the UAE and Qatar — to counter Iranian attacks, its foreign minister said on Friday, adding that he saw scope to draw China into peace efforts to end the war with Russia.
The United Arab Emirates has told the U.S. and other Western allies it would participate in a multinational maritime taskforce to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Iran has made an extraordinary offer, and it went straight to Madrid. The Iranian embassy in Spain announced Thursday that Tehran would be "receptive to any request from Madrid" regarding the Strait of Hormuz, citing Spain's respect for international law.
