Iran Threatens Military Action Against Gulf States Before Trump Ultimatum
Iran has issued warnings to residents in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, and announced it will declare infrastructure such as bridges and road networks as military exclusion zones starting at 23:00 Tehran time. Iranian media reports that Saudi Aramco is also in the sights of the attacks. The incident occurs shortly before the expiration of an ultimatum from US President Trump and is fueling regional tensions, while analysts are forecasting rising oil prices up to 200 dollars per barrel.
