Trump: Iran strikes could last weeks; missiles hit Dubai

/ 04:10/E1101
U.S. President Donald Trump says U.S. strikes on Iran are likely to last four to five weeks, with the operation aimed at destroying Iran’s missile capabilities, wiping out its navy, preventing a nuclear weapon, and curbing support for allied groups like Hezbollah. The Associated Press reports intensified fighting across multiple fronts, including strikes in Tehran and retaliatory attacks by Iran and its allies. The conflict’s consequences spread quickly: hundreds of thousands of airline passengers are stranded globally, and key energy infrastructure faces new risk. QatarEnergy says it will stop producing liquefied natural gas, with no timeline to restore output, and European natural gas prices surged by 40%. Saudi Arabia says its Ras Tanura oil refinery came under a drone attack, with defenses downing the aircraft. The AP says three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles were mistakenly downed by friendly Kuwaiti fire during an Iranian air assault, with all six pilots ejecting safely. Separately, the BBC reports Iranian missile attacks have shaken Dubai’s safe-haven image, with residents describing fires, injuries, and a growing sense of uncertainty.
