Iran Targets US Military Bases as US Expands Airstrikes Across Iran Fresh Military Escalation Raises Regional Tensions Iran launched a new wave of attacks on US military bases in several Gulf countries, while the United States responded with overnight airstrikes on multiple locations across Iran. The latest military action marks another sharp rise in tensions as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain at a standstill. Iran said it targeted US military facilities in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Officials described the attacks as part of their response to continued American military operations in the region. At the same time, the US military carried out a six hour campaign of strikes against several Iranian sites. According to US Central Command, the operation focused on command centres, air defence systems, and coastal surveillance facilities. American officials said the strikes aimed to reduce Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump Warns Iran to Return to Negotiations US President Donald Trump warned that Iran must return to negotiations or face further military action. He also repeated earlier threats to target Iran's energy infrastructure if diplomatic efforts continue to fail. Iran rejected the warning. Senior Iranian official Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the country had no reason to accept an agreement that did not protect its national interests. He also stressed that Iran's security depends on maintaining its position in the Strait of Hormuz. Airstrikes Hit Multiple Iranian Locations The latest US attacks struck military sites in Bandar Abbas, Greater Tunb Island, and other strategic areas. Iranian state media reported explosions in several cities, including Tehran, where air defence systems were activated. Iranian officials also said a children's cancer treatment centre in Ahvaz was evacuated after nearby strikes raised safety concerns. Videos circulating online showed explosions in Chabahar, Ahvaz, and Bandar Abbas as fighting intensified. Gulf States Respond to Iranian Attacks Several Gulf countries reported Iranian attacks following the latest US strikes. Kuwait said its military intercepted drones before they reached their targets. Bahrain urged residents to stay calm and move to the nearest safe location if necessary. Iran also claimed it targeted US communication systems and fuel storage facilities in Jordan during its latest military operation. Strait of Hormuz Remains Closed The Strait of Hormuz remains closed after Iran blocked the strategic waterway following earlier US and Israeli military operations. The route plays a vital role in global oil shipments, and its closure continues to increase concerns about international energy supplies. Meanwhile, the United States announced it had restored a blockade on Iranian ports. The restriction had previously been lifted under a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries last month. With negotiations still stalled, uncertainty over the conflict continues to grow.

Zelensky Replaces Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, Sparks Protests Across Ukraine Ukraine entered a new political crisis after President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to replace Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. The unexpected decision sparked protests in Kyiv and several other cities, with many Ukrainians expressing support for the outgoing minister. Public Demonstrations Follow Surprise Decision Hundreds of people, most of them young protesters, gathered in the streets carrying banners that read "Hands Off Fedorov" and "Stop Sabotaging Victory." Demonstrators also chanted slogans against the government's decision, arguing that changing the defence leadership could weaken the country's war effort. The protests reflected growing public concern over the future direction of Ukraine's military leadership during its ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelensky Names New Acting Defence Minister President Zelensky nominated Major General Yevhenii Khmara to serve as acting defence minister. According to the president, Khmara has developed significant experience in modern battlefield technology and military operations, making him a strong candidate for the role. The appointment still requires further political approval as discussions continue within Ukraine's leadership. Leadership Dispute Behind the Reshuffle The leadership change followed reports of growing disagreements between Fedorov and Ukraine's Commander in Chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi. Fedorov later confirmed that he had advised President Zelensky to replace both Syrskyi and Chief of the General Staff Andrii Hnatov. However, the president chose to keep the current military leadership in place. Zelensky admitted that tensions between the Defence Ministry and the General Staff had existed for a long time. He said he personally worked to ease the disagreements and encourage cooperation between both sides. Fedorov Says His Reform Plans Were Blocked Speaking after his dismissal, Fedorov explained that he had agreed to continue working with Syrskyi after Zelensky decided not to replace the commander. However, he claimed many of his proposed military reforms never moved forward because they faced repeated resistance. Fedorov also criticised Syrskyi, saying Ukraine should focus on finding innovative ways to counter Russia instead of allowing internal disagreements to slow progress. Syrskyi responded briefly on social media. He said he remained proud of Ukraine's defence during the battle for Kyiv in 2022 and would continue concentrating on military strategy while wishing Fedorov success in the future. Fedorov's Short But Influential Tenure Although Fedorov served as defence minister for only a few months after taking office in January, many observers credited him with bringing fresh energy to the ministry. He launched anti corruption reforms, promoted greater transparency, and introduced data driven methods to evaluate military performance on the battlefield. Supporters believe these efforts improved decision making within the defence sector. Wider Government Reshuffle Continues The changes extend beyond the Defence Ministry. Parliament approved the appointment of Serhiy Koretsky as Ukraine's new prime minister following the resignation of Yuliia Svyrydenko. Meanwhile, lawmakers continue discussing candidates for the permanent defence minister position, with Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko among the names under consideration. Ukraine's latest political reshuffle highlights growing debates over military leadership as the country continues defending itself against Russia's ongoing invasion.
