Putin says got booster shot of Sputnik Light vaccine, feels well

Saudi Arabia intercepted multiple drones targeting the "Shaybah oil field" as regional tensions soar. Amid the conflict, Russia and Saudi Arabia "emphasised the need" for international efforts to prevent escalation. Meanwhile, the US warned Russia not to intervene, despite Trump and Putin discussing "opportunity for some peace" in Ukraine.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Tuesday cautioned Russia against intervening in the ongoing conflict in West Asia amid rising tensions involving Iran with the US and Israel.

Reports indicate a US missile strike hit a school in Khomeyn, central Iran. This comes as the IRGC vowed to "determine" the war's end, rejecting US claims of a "short-term excursion." Amid threats to global oil supplies, Russia and France are pursuing diplomatic and defensive measures to stabilise the region.

Iran's IRGC has rejected US President Donald Trump's claim that the conflict will end "soon", asserting it will "determine" the war's conclusion. Tehran warned it would halt all regional oil exports if attacks continue, while Trump threatened to hit Iran "twenty times harder" if global supplies are disrupted.

Russian President Vladimir Putin received a telephone call from US President Donald Trump, where the two leaders discussed the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, Russia Today reported, citing Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov.
