The financial burden of the US-Iran conflict is now being felt by American motorists, with average fuel prices exceeding $4 per gallon (3.8 litres) this week – a level not seen since 2022. The escalating situation has left President Trump facing mounting economic concerns from voters, who are worried about the rising cost of petrol and the potential for inflation and recession.
The UAE Defence Ministry has confirmed that its air defence systems are actively countering a wave of incoming missiles and drones emanating from Iran.
The ministry has attributed the sonic booms heard in the air to the successful interception of these threats by its advanced defence capabilities.
The upcoming prime-time address by Donald Trump is expected to provide clarity on the status of the conflict in Iran. The address will likely shed light on the Iranian offer of a ceasefire and whether it has any tangible implications. However, Trump’s previous statements on the war’s outcome suggest that he may reiterate his assertion that the conflict is effectively won, a claim he has made on multiple occasions, including as far back as March 9. During the address, Trump is anticipated to outline plans for winding down the US involvement in the conflict, a process he has hinted would be completed within a six-week timeframe. With four weeks already elapsed, the address may confirm that the US withdrawal is imminent, potentially within the next two weeks as Trump has suggested. Alternatively, he may provide a more specific timeline, as he did in a recent interview, when he mentioned a possible two-week window or a few days either side of that. The address is also expected to touch on economic concerns, including the impact of oil supply issues on prices and the potential for inflation to rise. Meanwhile, the US stock market has shown a mixed response to the prospect of a conflict resolution, with some investors benefiting from the idea of a war’s end while others remain cautious.
According to Channel 12, a recent incident in central Bnei Brak resulted in four individuals sustaining minor injuries, with two of the victims being seven-month-old infants.
In a coordinated operation, Hezbollah militants claimed responsibility for launching the first wave of attacks against Israeli military personnel stationed in the Ainata region of southern Lebanon, while simultaneously unleashing rocket strikes against the Israeli towns of Malkia and Metula in the north.
As the conflict in Iran escalates and global oil prices reach a fever pitch, the US President is poised to give a pivotal address that will likely have far-reaching implications for the region.
A ballistic missile aimed at the Eastern Province was successfully neutralized by Saudi Arabia’s air defence systems, according to the Ministry of Defence, which confirmed the interception and destruction of the projectile.
The Lebanese militant organization has admitted to launching a salvo of rockets at Israeli military infrastructure situated in the vicinity of Kiryat Ata, a location east of the disputed city of Haifa.

In a move that has sparked heated tensions with Washington, several key European NATO allies have taken steps to limit US military involvement in the Iran conflict. Specifically, Spain has effectively shut down US military operations from two critical bases – Naval Station Rota and the Moron airbase – which serve as crucial hubs for US military operations in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Switzerland has imposed a significant trade restriction, halting the annual export of approximately $120 million worth of military equipment to the US. These actions have drawn the ire of US President Donald Trump, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has issued a stern warning that the US will reassess the value of its NATO partnership once the conflict with Iran has subsided.
