The aircraft was reportedly scheduled to fly to New Delhi to collect medical supplies, though US officials have not confirmed the strike.Amid the escalation, an Indian worker was killed in an Iranian drone strike on a power and desalination facility in Kuwait, according to Kuwaiti authorities, as multiple Gulf countries reported intercepting drones and missiles. US-Israeli strikes have hit a petrochemical facility in Iran’s Tabriz, with power outages reported in parts of Tehran. Iran, in response, targeted an industrial zone in southern Israel, triggering a fire and raising concerns over a possible chemical leak.
Israel also said it intercepted two drones launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, while the United Nations reported the death of a peacekeeper in southern Lebanon.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington’s operation is aimed at weakening Iran’s military capabilities while leaving room for diplomacy. US President Donald Trump has struck a more aggressive note, saying he wants to “take the oil in Iran”, even as the Pentagon is reportedly preparing for possible ground operations. The White House has also indicated Trump may ask Arab nations to help fund the war effort.
