According to reports, the US military carried out fresh air operations targeting key Iranian military infrastructure, including surveillance systems, communication networks, and air defense installations. Washington described the strikes as a response to what it called Iran’s “continued and unwarranted aggression.” In a strong counter-response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it had launched coordinated retaliatory attacks on 18 US military targets across the region. These alleged targets include American airbases in Kuwait and Bahrain, as well as the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet stationed in Bahrain. Iranian sources further stated that additional strikes were carried out on the al-Azraq airbase in Jordan, marking a continued escalation in hostilities. Meanwhile, Iran has taken a major strategic step by announcing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes. Iranian military authorities warned that any vessel attempting to pass through the waterway could be targeted. This decision has sparked global concern over potential disruptions to global oil supply and international trade. In Washington, US President Donald Trump issued a strong warning, stating that Iran will “pay the price” for its actions. He criticized Tehran’s leadership and claimed Iran has failed to respond effectively in diplomatic negotiations. His remarks come amid reports of ongoing back-channel talks involving international mediators attempting to reduce tensions. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected claims of surrender or compromise, stating that Iran will defend its sovereignty and national interests under any circumstances. He emphasized that while war is not in Iran’s interest, any threat to its territorial integrity will be met with strong resistance. At the same time, the United States has imposed new sanctions targeting Iran’s military procurement networks, including entities linked to foreign suppliers. Additionally, international nuclear watchdog IAEA has passed a resolution requiring Iran to declare its enriched uranium stockpiles, further increasing pressure on Tehran. As diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes, the situation remains highly unstable, with fears of broader military escalation involving global powers.
