Middle East

Saudi Arabia downed dozens of Iranian drones on Tuesday, while the UAE intercepted 17 drones and five missiles. Bahrain also reported a fire caused by "Iranian aggression."

The decision comes after a week of meetings between Lebanese officials and other leaders from the region, many of whom have been on the receiving end of Iranian attacks.

The attack on the Shajareh ​Tayyebeh School consisted of two missile strikes ​in quick succession that killed 168 children, mostly ⁠girls, Iranian officials say.

Up to 30 fighters from Iran-backed PMF were reportedly killed or wounded in US airstrikes on their base in Anbar province, Iraq, including operations commander Saad Dawai.

An American source told the Post that “the strikes are continuing as planned," and Israeli officials also said there has been no change in coordination with the US military or in operational plans.

The latest figures published by the IDF include at least 50 targets that were struck by the air force overnight, including ballistic missile storage and launch sites.

Iran and its militias struck northern Iraq, killing six Peshmerga and wounding 19, as attacks on the Kurdistan Region escalate amid the wider Middle East conflict.

Earlier on Monday, Trump had postponed for five days a plan to hit Iran's power plants and energy infrastructure. Iran later denied that it had engaged in negotiations with the United States.

The disruption is due to drone activity in the area, an Amazon spokesperson said, following a Reuters inquiry. Reuters is the first to report on the disruption.

Jonathan Alkhouri described the increase in public criticism of the terror group as a phenomenon he calls “cracks in the fear mechanism.”
