🇮🇷🇰🇼Iran has launched strikes on oil facilities in Kuwait, according to the Kuwaiti state news agency KUNA.

🇮🇷🇶🇦The Qatari Ministry of Defense states that they were attacked by seven Iranian ballistic missiles and several drones.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷🇱🇧Trump stated that Lebanon, which was attacked by Israel, was not included in the ceasefire agreement with Iran due to the actions of "Hezbollah".

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱🇱🇧The IRGC states that it is preparing a response to Israel's strikes on Hezbollah.

"An attack on the proud Hezbollah is an attack on Iran. The battlefield is preparing a tough response to the barbaric crimes of the regime," said Major General Majid Mousavi, commander of the aerospace forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to the IRNA agency.

Earlier, Western media reported that due to Israel's strikes on Hezbollah, Iran is refusing to unblock the Strait of Hormuz.

Recall, Tehran believes that the ceasefire in Lebanon is part of a deal on a general ceasefire, while Trump states the opposite.

🇮🇱🇧🇪Israel almost killed the Belgian Foreign Minister, who came to Lebanon to negotiate a ceasefire in the region.

This was reported by the minister himself, Maxime Prevot.

According to him, Israeli missiles struck "hundreds of meters" away from the negotiation site.

🛢Due to the threat of the Iran deal falling apart, the drop in oil prices may not be long-lasting, and the real prices of oil for current supplies reach up to $150 per barrel.

According to Reuters, the market initially reacted to the negotiations between Iran and the US with a decline: Brent fell to $91-95 per barrel after $109.27 the day before.

However, the key factor remains the risk of the deal falling apart, notes Clyde Russell, a columnist for the agency who specializes in energy issues.

He writes that a temporary truce does not solve the current problems. Supply chains have already been disrupted, and the physical oil market, especially in Asia, will remain under pressure for several months.

An additional sign of tension was a sharp price increase from Saudi Aramco: the premium for the Arab Light grade for Asia rose to $19.5 per barrel, which could raise the actual cost to $150.

As a result, even with a de-escalation, the market remains vulnerable.

🇺🇸🇮🇷A meeting between US and Iranian delegations will take place very soon, Trump announced.

According to the US president, Pakistan has offered to hold a summit in Islamabad in the near future.

🇬🇧British Ministry of Defence: We continue our defensive tasks in Cyprus, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.

🇪🇬🇮🇷🇮🇱The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the Israeli attacks on Lebanon as a new attempt to drag the region into "complete chaos".

🇺🇸🇮🇷The US is sending Vance, Kushner, and Whitkoff to negotiate with Iran in Pakistan. The first round will take place on Saturday, the White House announced.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱Iran announced a violation of the ceasefire regime on three points at once, including the continuation of hostilities in Lebanon, drone flights over Iran's territory, and the denial of Iran's right to enrich uranium.

Thus, the "workable basis for negotiations" in the form of a 10-point plan was violated even before the start of the negotiations themselves, which makes it inappropriate to hold them or to declare a bilateral ceasefire.

The truce continues to hang in the balance.
