Iran launches Gulf blitz as Trump signals war will end ‘very soon’
Good morning and welcome to the Daily Mail’s live coverage of the 33rd day of the Iran war which Donald Trump signals could end ‘very soon’ ahead of a major announcement tonight.
Iran has launched more attacks on its Gulf neighbours and Israel as the conflict continues to rage across the Middle East.
Kuwait’s civil aviation authority said the country’s international airport had come under an Iranian drone attack that led to “a large fire” at fuel tanks.
Elsewhere, Bahrain’s interior ministry said a fire broke out at a business facility as a result of ‘Iranian aggression’.
Saudi Arabia’s defence ministry said several drones were ‘intercepted and destroyed’, while a tanker was also hit in the waters off Qatar, a British maritime security agency said.
It all comes as Donald Trump said he planned to leave Iran ‘very soon,’ with the original military operation expected to go on no longer than six weeks.
