The Yemeni Houthis say they’re ready for “direct military intervention” and confirmed their first ballistic missile strike on Israel.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has warned nations in the region not to allow their territory to be used for attacks against Iran, urging them to stay out of the conflict.
“We have said many times that Iran doesn’t carry out preemptive attacks,” Pezeshkian wrote on X, but warned that it “will retaliate strongly if our infrastructure or economic centers are targeted.”
“To the countries of the region: If you want development and security, don’t let our enemies run the war from your lands,” he said.
His warning follows claims by army spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari that more than 500 US troops have been killed or wounded in strikes on alleged American “hideouts” across the region. Zolfaghari said US President Donald Trump and his commanders must “fully understand that the region will become a cemetery for American soldiers” if the US launches a ground invasion.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said his counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Egypt will meet with him in Islamabad for talks aimed at de-escalating tensions over Iran and the wider region.
Earlier, the Yemeni Houthis said they are ready for “direct military intervention” on Iran’s side, confirming their first ballistic missile strike against Israel. The group said its “operations… will continue… until the end of the offensive on all resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.”
Trump maintains that Iran has been “decimated,” telling a Saudi-backed forum there are only “3,554 targets left” to strike. His envoy, Steve Witkoff, said the administration hopes to hold talks with Tehran in the coming days, even as reports suggest the US is weighing a ground invasion, deploying additional forces, and drafting options for a “final blow.”
The Kuwaiti Defense Ministry has confirmed that multiple Iranian drones struck in the vicinity of Kuwait International Airport, “leading to significant damage to the radar system, with no human casualties.”
In a separate post on X on Saturday, the Kuwaiti military reported that several fuel tanks caught fire as a result of the attack.

Those in the Middle East supporting the US imperialists are slaves in the making.
