Iran has launched dozens of drones at Israel on Saturday, Israel’s military said, prompting concerns of a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries.
The United States has pledged support for Israel in the event of any attacks. The drones are said to be carrying explosives, raising alarm about potential damage.
Both Israel and Jordan have closed their airspace in response. Additionally, there’s mention of ongoing conflicts in the region, such as the Gaza war, which have heightened tensions.
Furthermore, Iran has reportedly seized a ship, leading to diplomatic and logistical concerns. MSC, which operates the Aries, confirmed that Iran had seized the ship and said it was working “with the relevant authorities” for its safe return and the wellbeing of its 25 crew.
