Hamas Disarmament Deal Announced Amid Rising Mideast Tensions
The United States announced a peace plan including Hamas's disarmament and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, which Hamas reportedly accepted, though Israel remains skeptical.
Hamas has conditioned its disarmament on an Israeli military withdrawal, indicating significant challenges remain for the peace agreement's implementation.
Meanwhile, Iran claimed attacks on U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain amidst escalating clashes with the U.S., with reports also emerging of tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
Saudi Arabia announced the formation of a new maritime defense coalition to secure navigation in the Red Sea.
