Trump says the United States "don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won" targeting his criticism at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as Israel continues to fire missles at strategic sites in Iran. The Gulf regions report more strikes from Iran.
Israel's military say it is responsible for the “significant strike” of an oil storage facility in Iran's capital Tehran (see video below). Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it retaliated by launching missiles at an oil refinery in Haifa, Israel.
The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait's military say their air defence systems are intercepting missiles and drones launched from Iran on Sunday, AFP is reporting.
The commander of the Quds Force of the IRGC, Esmail Qaani, has safely returned to Israel. Reports say he was instrumental in the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei last weekend and has previously helped been behind the killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine.
Principal Deputy Spokesperson at the State Department, Thomas Pigott released the following statement:
"The United States strongly condemns the unprovoked drone attack on March 5 by the Iranian regime against the Republic of Azerbaijan, targeting Nakhchivan International Airport and a children’s school, which injured innocent civilians and caused damage to critical civilian infrastructure.
These strikes are a flagrant violation of Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and a needless escalation of Iran’s aggression. The United States stands in full solidarity with Azerbaijan against these threats. Attacks on the territory of our partners in the region are unacceptable and will be met with resolute U.S. support for those partners."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan responded through the Azerbaijan agency Report:
"We highly appreciate the statement of the United States Department of State condemning the drone attacks carried out by Iran against the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan and expressing solidarity with our country,
Through this statement, the US side has demonstrated to the whole world its support for its partners. The position expressed by the United States fully corresponds to the letter and spirit of the Charter on Strategic Partnership between the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Government of the United States of America, signed on February 10 this year.
On such a tense period, many countries have demonstrated their support and solidarity with Azerbaijan. We are grateful to each and every one of them. Obviously, the support shown by the United States, the most powerful country in the world, carries particular significance.
We express our gratitude to the United States for the demonstrated principled position."
