Admission on Iran strike
Iran's foreign minister says the country’s armed forces have indeed reduced the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain to rubble, the same thing they did to other bases supporting US aggression. Abbas Araghchi was reacting to remarks by Acting US Navy Secretary Hung Cao, who has said “the Iranian military blew the hell out of the US base in Bahrain”. The Iranian top diplomat said American people should not bear the cost of Israel’s wars. Meanwhile, a new report suggests that Iran's recent retaliatory strikes on an American base in Jordan have damaged multiple US military aircraft. The new report, citing a US official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Iran's attack hit one A-10 Thunderbolt 2, known as the Warthog, leaving it with a missing wing, while damaging roughly eight F-15 fighter jets.
Oil prices climb
Global oil prices have continued to climb steadily this week, with Brent crude nearing 110 dollars, as the US aggression on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz reduce supply. While the prices keep fluctuating, Brent crude trades at around 105 dollars a barrel after briefly reaching nearly 110 dollars, the highest level in four months. West Texas Intermediate also climbed above 103 dollars after gaining more than 6% on Thursday. The impact is also being felt in the United States, where diesel prices have surpassed six dollars a gallon, raising fears of higher inflation and putting further pressure on consumers ahead of the midterm elections.
US Saudi support
A new report reveals that the US is expanding its intelligence presence in Saudi Arabia. According to a CNN report, more than 100 US military advisers are on the ground in Saudi Arabia, providing intelligence support. The US personnel are working as part of a newly established joint forces command, formed in recent weeks. The report also says Washington is providing “geospatial” targeting support to Saudi Arabia for strikes against Yemen. This comes amid escalating tensions between Riyadh and Sana’a, as Yemeni forces advance to take control of cities previously held by Saudi-backed mercenaries, including Mokha.
