In a joint statement issued in their capacity as mediators, the three countries stressed the imperative for Israel to fully comply with all its obligations under the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Trump warned that any country or entity providing Iran with financial or economic support would face “tremendous economic consequences.”
"Israel rejects the 15-point document," Netanyahu said.
The war has also forced the Pentagon to divert military equipment from Europe and Asia to the Middle East.
The foreign ministers of the eight countries condemned the ongoing Israeli violations, particularly the targeting of healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and the continued loss of civilian lives, including women and children.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said the incident occurred about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Kumzar, Oman.
The incident comes before Trump’s scheduled appearance at a fundraising event.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said he has not yet decided whether to escalate military action against Tehran.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the agreement, which covers only civilian nuclear activities, "will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords."
"From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Each round of US strikes has been met with Iranian retaliation targeting American military facilities across the Gulf. One recent attack killed three US service members in Jordan, while another US soldier was killed in Iraq during the controlled demolition of an Iranian drone.
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity said the latest attack triggered a fire at some of the facility's installations, affecting a number of electricity generation units.
In a statement cited by Iran’s official news agency IRNA, Khamenei accused the United States of arrogance, unilateralism, and brutality, describing them as inseparable from the American approach.
Egypt condemned the Iranian attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, all of which host significant American military forces, calling them a “grave escalation.”
"Maybe we'll take over Kharg Island. We may take over Kharg Island. There's not a thing they could do about it," Trump said as he spoke before talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Washington would likely launch another round of strikes against Iran later in the day, signaling further military action after overnight attacks targeting Iranian military assets.
Egypt strongly condemned Iran's Wednesday strikes on Bahrain and Kuwait, describing them as a flagrant violation of the two Gulf states' sovereignty and warning that the attacks mark an unacceptable escalation that threatens regional security and stability.
President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that Iran "will no longer exist" if the United States is forced to resume military action, after a fresh round of hostilities tested a fragile ceasefire between the two countries.
The request, submitted to lawmakers and posted on the White House website, includes $67.15 billion for military purposes, in addition to roughly $1 trillion appropriated last year and another $1.5 trillion in defense spending sought by Trump for the next fiscal year, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, he reiterated in a post on Truth Social that no fees would be charged during the 60-day ceasefire period marking the duration of the interim ceasefire deal recently signed with Iran.
