Iran warns: New attacks on Beirut mean full-scale war

Iran has issued a stern warning to Israel, stating that continued attacks on Lebanon's capital, Beirut, will result in a full-scale resumption of war. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that "all attacks against Beirut will have serious consequences and will lead to a full-scale continuation of the war."

Araghchi's statement, reported by the state news agency Tasnim, emphasized Iran's readiness to retaliate, with armed forces prepared to strike Israel if Beirut is targeted. This warning follows Israel's increased military operations in southern Lebanon and Beirut, aimed at striking the militant group Hezbollah.

All attacks against Beirut will have serious consequences and will lead to a full-scale continuation of the war.

Separately, the article touches upon Kuwait's oil sector. A director from Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) indicated that a significant portion of the country's oil exports could resume within six to eight weeks after shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is restored. Full production capacity might take an additional month. This timeline is notably faster than projections from other Middle Eastern nations.

Additionally, the report mentions Kuwait expelling two Iranian diplomats and summoning Iran's chargé d'affaires following a drone attack on a Kuwaiti airport. India also condemned the attack, which resulted in the death of an Indian national and injuries to others.
