US Attacks
The Iranian attacks reportedly targeted Jordan, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, marking a sharp escalation that further undermines the US-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war.
The move comes amid heightened regional tensions linked to US-Iran relations.
President Sisi’s meeting also reviewed the increasing volatility in global markets and the repercussions of geopolitical events, especially the war between Iran and Israel, on the rising state of uncertainty in major international markets, particularly shipping prices and some commodities.
Tehran said it is “resolved to defend Iran’s territory, sovereignty, security and people by all force and means against the United States’ criminal aggression.”
Cairo, also, reiterated its warning of the dangers of the region sliding into further chaos and tension. It affirmed that political solutions and diplomatic negotiations, not military action, are the only path toward resolving the crisis and achieving a lasting settlement.
The attack comes hours after the US announced “obliterating” key nuclear facilities in Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan in precision strikes on Sunday.
