Iran has warned Gulf nations to expel Americans and remove all US military bases if they want protection from Iranian missile attacks, as the US-Israel war with Tehran entered its sixth day. An Iranian MP said leaders of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Turkey must end American military presence to avoid further escalation. Iran continues missile strikes on Tel Aviv and Gulf military facilities following coordinated US-Israeli attacks on February 28. The death toll in Iran has reached at least 1,230. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi termed the US strike on warship Dena near Sri Lanka an “atrocity at sea.” Iran also claimed hitting a US tanker in the Gulf. (PC: AFP)
