Monday’s relief over signals Donald Trump was looking to de-escalate the Middle East conflict has turned into caution as fears of a wider conflict flare again.
Iran launched overnight missile and drone attacks on the Israeli cities of Eilat, Dimona and Tel Aviv, as well as US bases in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia said it intercepted a drone in its eastern region, and Kuwait said some power lines were put out of service after an Iranian attack. Sirens sounded in Bahrain.
