Iran launched fresh missile and drone strikes on Israel and Gulf states on Monday, widening the regional conflict. Media outlets reported a drone strike on Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura Refinery, one of the world’s largest oil export hubs. The Jerusalem Post said a “small and isolated fire” broke out at the site and was later controlled. Reuters reported the facility was temporarily closed. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the “tenth wave opened massive gates of fire upon the occupied territories.” Iranian media also reported a strike on Salman Port, claiming it was used for US logistics. Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the attacks. (PC: HT)
