On Monday, the US state department ordered the departure of US diplomats and their families from the consulate in Adana in southern Turkey, near Incirlik air base, where US and Nato forces are stationed.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Macron orders \u2018unprecedented\u2019 naval deployment to Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n

French president Emmanuel Macron has ordered an \u201cunprecedented\u201d naval deployment to the Strait of Hormuz following Iranian attacks on ships passing through the crucial narrow passage.<\/p>\n

The operation, which includes the flagship aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, aims to \u201cguarantee freedom of navigation and maritime \u200csecurity\u201d, Macron said during a visit to a military air base in Cyprus.<\/p>\n

French vessels will join US forces in the region as they seek to reopen the crucial maritime route.<\/p>\n

Macron said: \u201cWe are in the process of setting up a purely defensive, purely escort mission, which must be prepared together with both European and non-European states, and whose purpose is to enable, as soon as possible after the most intense phase of the conflict has ended, the escort of container ships and tankers to gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur objective is to maintain a strictly defensive stance, standing alongside all countries attacked by Iran in its retaliation, to ensure our credibility, and to contribute to regional de-escalation. Ultimately, we aim to guarantee freedom of navigation and maritime \u200csecurity.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/a>Trump ally Lindsey Graham questions Saudi Arabia<\/p>\n

US senator Lindsey Graham has questioned whether the US should uphold its defence agreement with Saudi Arabia, criticising the kingdom for refusing to join military operations against Iran.<\/p>\n

On X, he said that \u201cAmericans are dying and the US is spending billions to dislodge the terrorist Iranian regime. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seems to be issuing statements and doing things in the background that are marginally helpful\u201d.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cHopefully Gulf Cooperation Council countries will get more involved as this fight is in their backyard.\u201dThe post ended with a warning: \u201cIf not, consequences will follow.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/a>Pakistani warships escorting merchant vessels passing through Middle East<\/p>\n

Pakistani warships have started escorting the country\u2019s merchant vessels through the Middle East as regional conflict disrupts oil tanker traffic. <\/p>\n

With the nation heavily dependent on energy imports from the Gulf, the government has introduced broad fuel-saving measures, including closing schools, while the war continues.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the country\u2019s navy said that the operation was launched to ensure the country\u2019s energy supplies were not interrupted. <\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan Navy has launched Operation Muhafiz-ul-Bahr to counter multidimensional threats to national shipping and maritime trade. The initiative has been undertaken to ensure the uninterrupted flow of national energy supplies and the security of Sea Lines of Communication,\u201d a spokesperson for Pakistan Navy said in a Facebook post. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Trump claims war would go on at least for another week<\/p>\n

Donald Trump said on Monday that the war would go on at least for another week, soon after he suggested that the war would end \u201cvery soon\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already won in many ways, but we haven\u2019t won enough,\u201d he told a gathering of Republican lawmakers in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran, on the other hand, has refuted Trump\u2019s claim that their missiles are declining and instead claimed that its missiles were getting more powerful. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Trump again suggests Iran struck elementary school<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has again suggested, without evidence, that Iran bombed an elementary school in Minab on 28 February, killing 175 people, including many children.<\/p>\n

Video evidence verified by The New York Times shows a Tomahawk missile struck a naval base near the school.<\/p>\n

Tomahawks are developed by the United States, and only a few allies possess them; Iran does not have Tomahawks but has its own distinct domestically produced cruise missiles.<\/p>\n

Earlier, US Senator John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, admitted America \u201cmade a mistake\u201d when a girls\u2019 school in Iran was bombed.<\/p>\n

US military investigators reportedly believe American forces were likely responsible for the strike in Minab late last month.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Senator admits US ‘made a mistake’ with Iranian girls’ school bombing<\/p>\n

US Senator John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, has admitted America \u201cmade a mistake\u201d when a girls\u2019 school in Iran was bombed. <\/p>\n

“It was terrible. We made a mistake,\u201d he told<\/a> NBC News\u2019 Sahil Kapur. “Other countries do that sort of thing intentionally, like Russia. We would never do that intentionally. I think the department is investigating it now, and I’m sorry. I’m just so sorry it happened. It was a mistake\u201d.<\/p>\n

US military investigators reportedly believe American forces were likely responsible for the strike in Minab late last month, which officials say killed dozens of people, including many students. <\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has claimed Iran was behind the attack. <\/p>\n
