Conflict in the Persian Gulf is expanding, Ukraine is set to lose weapons, and Orbán faces sanctions

The situation in the Persian Gulf is significantly worsening. Iran is intensively shelling Gulf countries with missiles and drones, with the United Arab Emirates having intercepted 372 missiles and 1,826 drones. Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to a tenth of its normal volume. Israel and the US continue their bombing campaigns, with Trump having so far postponed attacks against Iranian power plants until April. The US Department of Defense is considering sending tens of thousands more troops to the region and expanding military capacities. SITA ↗

However, the extensive conflict has serious consequences for Ukraine. The American command is reportedly considering diverting weapons deliveries intended for Kyiv, including already-paid-for deliveries of Patriot systems, in order to concentrate military materiel in the Middle East. This situation is even more serious in the context of claims that Russia and Iran are closely cooperating and that Putin hopes the war in the Persian Gulf will divert the world's attention from the war in Ukraine. teraz.sk ↗

On the domestic political scene in Hungary, American efforts are also affecting Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. American senators are preparing sanctions against Hungarian government officials over the continued purchase of Russian oil and obstruction of aid to Ukraine. An investigative journalist has published claims that aircraft linked to Orbán's circle may have secretly transported cash and valuables from Russia. forum24.cz ↗

Finnish President Alexander Stubb warns of the global impact of the conflict, claiming that a prolongation of the war could plunge the world into recession. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are considering direct participation in the fight against Iran, while Turkey is discouraging them from taking this step. hlavnespravy.sk ↗
