Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that Tehran will return to the negotiating table only after establishing military superiority in the field. He indicated a wait-and-see approach regarding the appropriate time for diplomatic engagement. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had targeted US facilities at Ali Salim Air Base in Kuwait, continuing retaliatory strikes against the US. Reports indicate a hangar housing US drones was struck, with fighter jets reportedly catching fire as a result of the attack. This action follows previous Iranian statements regarding retaliation for US aggression. The attacks suggest an escalation of tensions between the two nations and a continued commitment by Iran to respond militarily. Further diplomatic efforts remain contingent on the evolving situation on the ground.
