Israel says Iran's influence is weakened after Gulf drone attacks, warns of retaliation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Thursday that Iran's military and political influence have been "decimated," citing recent drone and missile attacks on Gulf oil infrastructure. He warned that any further attacks on petro-facilities would not go unanswered, asserting Israel's readiness to defend its interests and allies. While Iran has not claimed responsibility, several nations suspect Iranian-backed groups are behind the strikes. The remarks come amid rising regional tensions and ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent escalation.
