What warning did Donald Trump give?
US President Donald Trump has confirmed the attacks. He said bluntly, 'If Iran does not stop breaking the ceasefire, America will not hesitate to take bigger action.' Trump indicated that if the situation worsens, more strict measures will be taken.
Which ship did Iran target?
Iran carried out a drone attack on the Panamanian oil tanker 'Kiku' passing through the Gulf of Hormuz on Saturday morning. This ship was filled with more than 20 lakh barrels of crude oil. Earlier, Iran had also targeted a ship named 'AV Ever Lovely'. Stopping the oil supply is Iran's ploy.
Why is tension increasing in Lebanon?
On Saturday, Israel carried out drone attacks in the Nabatieh area of Lebanon. Hezbollah was enraged soon after. Hezbollah kicks off US ceasefire proposal. He says that nothing will be resolved until Israeli troops completely withdraw from Southern Lebanon.
What did Hezbollah say on the ceasefire proposal?
Hezbollah Chief Naim Qasim tore up the proposal and threw it away. He said, 'This is not a compromise, it is a surrender of Lebanon.' It is written in the agreement that the Israeli army will withdraw in instalments and the Lebanese army will come in its place. But Hezbollah does not accept this. They are adamant about removing the entire army at once.
What happened in the latest attack in Gaza?
Israeli drone wreaked havoc in the Muwasi area of Gaza. Homeless people living in tents were attacked. One brother and sister lost their lives and 7 people were injured. These were the same tents where people fleeing the war had taken shelter.
