Iran warns of wider war as Qatar tries to restart US–Iran talks

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran targeted only US military bases rather than Gulf neighbors and warned of severe retaliation. Meanwhile, Axios reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed for fresh US strikes on Iran following US midterm elections during a tough phone call with Donald Trump, though Trump currently favors letting ongoing negotiations continue.
Why it matters in Ethiopia: Ethiopia imports nearly all its fuel; conflict around the Strait of Hormuz can raise oil and shipping costs.
