(AP Photo/Francisco Seco)2026-04-05T04:10:19Z DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Authorities say a fire has broken out at a petrochemicals plant in the United Arab Emirates following an attack on Sunday.Abu Dhabi authorities responded to multiple fires at the Borouge petrochemicals plant. They say the fires were caused by falling debris following successful interceptions by air defense systems, but production at the plant has halted.The plant is in Ruwais, near the UAEs western border with Saudi Arabia. The plant is a joint venture of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. and Borealis of Australia.THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. APs earlier story follows below.WASHINGTON (AP) A U.S. service member who has been missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet has been rescued, President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post early Sunday.A frantic U.S. search-and-rescue operation unfolded after the crash of the F-15E Strike Eaglejet on Friday, as Iran also promised a reward for anyone who turned in the enemy pilot. This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, he wrote. A second crew member was rescued earlier. This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, Trump wrote. Read More Trump said that the aviator is injured but will be just fine, adding that the rescue involved dozens of aircraft and that U.S. had been monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue.The fighter jet was the first U.S. aircraft to have crashed in Iranian territory since the conflict in late February.Trump said last week that the U.S. had decimated Iran and would finish the war very fast. Two days later, Iran shot down two U.S. military planes, showing the ongoing perils of the bombing campaign and the ability of a degraded Iranian military to continue to hit back. Drones hit Gulf energy infrastructureIn Kuwait, an Iranian drone attack caused significant damage to two power plants and put a water desalination station out of service, according to the Ministry of Electricity. No injuries were reported from the attack, the ministry said.In Bahrain, the national oil company said that a drone attack caused a fire at one of its storage facilities, which was extinguished. It said the damage was still being assessed and no injuries had been reported.The war began with joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Feb. 28 and has killed thousands, shaken global markets, cut off key shipping routes and spiked fuel prices. Both sides have threatened, and hit, civilian targets, bringing warnings of possible war crimes. The other jet to go down was a U.S. A-10 attack aircraft. Neither the status of the crew nor exactly where it crashed was immediately known. Trump renews threatTrump renewed his threats for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global energy shipments that has been choked off by Tehran, by Monday or face devastating consequences, writing Saturday in a social media post: Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.The doors of hell will be opened to you if Irans infrastructure is attacked, Gen. Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi with the countrys joint military command said late Saturday in response to Trumps renewed threat, state media reported. In turn, the general threatened all infrastructure used by the U.S. military in the region.But Pakistans Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Tahir Andrabi, told The Associated Press that his governments efforts to broker a ceasefire are right on track after Islamabad last week said that it would soon host talks between the U.S. and Iran.Irans foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said that Iranian officials have never refused to go to Islamabad.Mediators from Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt were working to bring the U.S. and Iran to the negotiating table, according to two regional officials.The proposed compromise includes a cessation of hostilities to allow a diplomatic settlement, according to a regional official involved in the efforts and a Gulf diplomat briefed on the matter. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door diplomacy. Iran threatens to disrupt traffic in second key straitIrans parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, issued a veiled threat late Friday to disrupt traffic through a second strategic waterway in the region, the Bab el-Mandeb.The strait, 32 kilometers (20 miles) wide, links the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. More than a tenth of seaborne global oil and a quarter of container ships pass through it.Which countries and companies account for the highest transit volumes through the strait? Qalibaf wrote.More than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran since the war began. In Gulf Arab states and the occupied West Bank, more than two dozen people have died, while 19 have been reported dead in Israel and 13 U.S. service members have been killed. In Lebanon, more than 1,400 people have been killed and more than 1 million people have been displaced. Ten Israeli soldiers have died there.___Jon Gambrell in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Samy Magdy in Cairo; Munir Ahmed in Islamabad; Dasha Litvinova in Tallinn, Estonia; and Seung Min Kim, Will Weissert, Michelle L.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks during an interview with The Associated Press, in Istanbul, Turkey, Saturday, April 4, 2026. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)2026-04-05T04:55:32Z ISTANBUL (AP) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concern that a prolonged U.S.-Israeli war on Iran could further erode Americas support for Ukraine as Washingtons global priorities shift and Kyiv braces for reduced deliveries of critically needed Patriot air defense missiles.Ukraine desperately needs more U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems to help it counter Russias daily barrages, Zelenskyy said, speaking to The Associated Press in an exclusive interview late Saturday in Istanbul. Russias relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago has killed thousands of civilians. It has also targeted Ukraines energy supply to disrupt industrial production of Ukraines newly developed drones and missiles, while also denying civilians heat and running water in winter.We have to recognize that we are not the priority for today, Zelenskyy said. Thats why I am afraid a long (Iran) war will give us less support. A loss of focus on UkraineThe latest U.S.-brokered talks between envoys from Moscow and Kyiv ended in February with no sign of a breakthrough. Zelenskyy, who has accused Russia of trying to drag out negotiations while it presses on with its invasion, said Ukraine remains in contact with U.S. negotiators about a potential deal to end the war and has continued to press for stronger security guarantees.But, he said, even those discussions reflect a broader loss of focus from Ukraine.His most immediate concern, Zelenskyy said, are the Patriots essential for intercepting Russian ballistic missiles as Ukraine still lacks an effective alternative.These U.S. systems were never delivered in sufficient quantities to begin with, Zelenskyy said, and if the Iran war doesnt end soon, the package which is not very big for us I think will be smaller and smaller day by day. Thats why, of course, we are afraid, he said. Interlinked warsZelenskyy had been counting on European partners to help make the Patriot purchases despite tight supply and limited U.S. production capacity. But the Iran war, now in its sixth week, has sent shock waves through the global economy and pulled in much of the wider Middle East region, further straining these already limited resources, diverting stockpiles and leaving Ukrainian cities more exposed to ballistic strikes.

Share Share Facebook Copy Link copied Email X LinkedIn Bluesky Flipboard Pinterest Reddit Read More For Kyiv, a key objective is to weaken Moscows economy and make the war prohibitively costly. Surging oil prices driven by Irans closure of the Strait of Hormuz are undermining that strategy by boosting the Kremlins oil revenues and strengthening Moscows capacity to sustain its war effort. Read More In his interview with the AP, Zelenskyy said Russia draws economic benefits from the Mideast war, citing the limited easing of American sanctions on Russian oil. Russia gets additional money because of this, so yes, they have benefits, he said.Russian officials said Sunday a fire broke out at a major oil refinery in the Nizhny Novgorod region after a drone attack, while another drone damaged a pipeline at the Russian Baltic Sea port of Primorsk, home to a major oil export terminal. No casualties were reported. Russia could reap a windfall from a surge in oil prices and the U.S. temporary waiver on Russian oil sanctions designed to ease supply shortages as the Iran war continues. Russia is one of the worlds main oil exporters, and Asian nations are increasingly competing for Russian crude oil as an energy crisis mounts.In response, Ukraine has intensified its long-range drone attacks on Russian oil facilities, which have rattled Moscow.A renewed diplomatic pushTo keep Ukraine on the international agenda, Zelenskyy has offered to share Ukraines hard-earned battlefield expertise with the United States and allies to develop effective countermeasures against Iranian attacks. Ukraine has met Russias evolving use of Iranian-made Shahed drones with growing sophistication, technological ingenuity and low cost. Moscow significantly modified the original Shahed-136, rebranded as the Geran-2, enhancing its ability to evade air defenses and be mass produced. Ukraine responded with quick innovation of its own, including low-cost interceptor drones designed to track and destroy incoming drones. Zelenskyy said Ukraine is ready to share with Gulf Arab countries targeted by Iran its experience and technology, including interceptor drones and sea drones, which Ukraine produces more than are used up with funding from Americans and its European partners.In return, these countries could help Ukraine with anti-ballistic missiles, Zelenskyy said.In late March, as the Iran war escalated, Zelenskyy visited Gulf Arab states to promote Ukraines singular experience in countering Iranian-made Shahed drones, leading to new defense cooperation agreements. Zelenskyy has also positioned Ukraine as a potential partner in safeguarding global trade routes, offering assistance in reopening the Strait of Hormuz by sharing Ukraines experiences securing maritime corridors in the Black Sea. Zelenskyy was in Istanbul for talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a day after the Turkish leader spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy said they discussed peace talks and a possible meeting of leaders in Istanbul. He also said there could be new defense deals signed between the two countries soon.Russia steps up its spring offensiveEach year as the weather improves, Russia moves its grinding war of attrition up a notch. However, it has been unable to capture Ukrainian cities and has made only incremental gains across rural areas. Russia occupies about 20% of Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized in 2014.On the roughly 1,250-kilometer (750-mile) front line stretching across eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, short-handed Ukrainian defenders are getting ready for a new offensive by Russias larger army.The commander-in-chief of Ukraines armed forces, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, said Russian troops have in recent days made simultaneous attempts to break through defense lines in several strategic areas.One thing Zelenskyy says he has insisted on and will continue to do so a territorial compromise and giving up land will not be on Ukraines agenda.
