Israel-Iran War LIVE Updates: Trump Says U.S. Negotiating With Iran Parliament Speaker, Iran Denies Talks

Authorities in Dubai said Tuesday morning they “contained” a Kuwaiti oil tanker after it came under attack from Iran.

"No oil leakage and no injuries reported," according to officials.

The Kuwaiti ship was struck by a drone in Dubai waters, according to the Dubai Media office.

The media office said that all 24 crew members were safe after authorities put out a fire.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre, which is run by the British military, reported the strike, saying the vessel was 31 nautical miles (57 kilometres) northwest of Dubai.

An unknown projectile struck the tanker on the starboard side, causing a fire on the vessel. No environmental impact was reported, the center said.

Iran held a funeral Tuesday for Rear. Adm. Alireza Tangsiri, the head of Revolutionary Guard’s navy.

An Israeli airstrike killed Tangsiri last week, with Tehran only acknowledging his death Monday.

It showed his casket on a flat bed truck driving through the streets of Bandar Abbas, a crucial port city on the Strait of Hormuz that has seen repeated U.S. airstrikes during the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pronounced his tour of Middle Eastern countries a success on Monday and said a number of ​security cooperation accords had been clinched or were under discussion.

Zelenskiy ‌embarked on a tour of the region to offer Ukrainian expertise on how to counter attacks from drones fired by Iran in its conflict with the United States ​and Israel, which has spread across the Middle East.

Authorities brought the fire under control and extinguished it, the Dubai Media Office said. All 24 crew members are safe, and no injuries have been reported, the office said.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, run by the British military, reported the strike, saying the vessel was 31 nautical miles (57 kilometers) northwest of Dubai.

It said an unknown projectile struck their tanker on the starboard side, causing a fire on the vessel. No environmental impact has been reported, the center said.

Despite attacks on civilian targets across the region, Iran's foreign minister reiterated early on Tuesday that Tehran's attacks on the Gulf Arab states solely target U.S. military.

The remarks made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Saudi Arabia coincide with the Gulf Arab states' growing resentment, which is pushing the United States to pursue the war.

“Iran respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation,” Araghchi wrote on X, sharing a photo purportedly showing damage to an American aircraft at Prince Sultan Air Base in the kingdom. “Our operations are aimed at enemy aggressors who have no respect for Arabs or Iranians, nor can provide any security. ... High time to eject U.S. forces.”

Iran attacked and set ablaze a fully loaded crude oil tanker off Dubai on Monday, ​as President Donald Trump warned the U.S. would obliterate Iran's energy plants and oil wells if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz.

Kuwait Petroleum Corp, the ship's owner, said work was underway to assess damage and warned of a possible oil spill.

Authorities ​in Dubai later said they had been able to bring the fire under control following a drone attack on the tanker. No injuries have been ⁠reported, they said.

Two Indonesian United Nations peacekeepers have died while on escort duty in support of UNIFIL operations in southern Lebanon. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense said in a written statement on Tuesday that two other soldiers were also seriously injured amid intensifying hostilities in the area.

The statement added that the exact cause of the incident is still under investigation by UNIFIL in accordance with established procedures.

An Indonesian soldier was reported to have died and several other injured the previous day in his area of deployment as a result of the conflict taking place in the operational zone.

“The Ministry of Defense emphasizes that the safety of peacekeeping forces must be the top priority,” the statement said. “All parties involved in the conflict are expected to respect international humanitarian law and ensure the safety of peacekeeping personnel.”

The video of a massive explosion shared without comment early Tuesday by U.S. President Donald Trump appears to be of a major strike conducted outside of the central Iranian city of Isfahan.

The Baluch advocacy group HalVash shared the same video and others from the ground outside of Isfahan. Fire-tracking satellites from NASA suggest the explosions happened near Mount Soffeh, an area believed to have military positions.

The videos show massive fireballs and secondary explosions common with ammunition igniting in a blaze.

Iran has not formally acknowledged the attack.

Isfahan is home to one of three uranium enrichment sites bombed by the U.S. in the 12-day day between Iran and Israel in June. A portion of Iran’s highly enriched uranium is believed to be entombed there — something America has suggested it could seize with ground forces.
