US aggression on Iran
Iran's Foreign Minister says that the Islamic Republic is determined to defend its national interests and security, and prevent the United States from exploiting the Strait of Hormuz to threaten Iran. On the sidelines of the SCO summit in Kyrgyzstan, Abbas Araghchi met with his Russian and Chinese counterparts. He stressed that the US violation of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, especially paragraph five on safe navigation, and its war crimes against Iran’s civilian infrastructure are solely to blame for the current instability. Lavrov condemned the US-Israeli military aggression and called for a regional security mechanism. Wang Yi said peace requires cooperation, not force, and China expressed readiness to assist in restoring calm. Both Moscow and Beijing urged de-escalation and respect for Iran's national interests.
Iran vows ti hit forces
Iran’s central military command has issued a stark warning to the United States, declaring that any future killing of Iranian citizens will be met with direct retaliation against American forces. Commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Abdollahi stated that for every Iranian citizen martyred, one American service member would be sent to hell. Abdollahi announced this as the new official battlefield equation, adding that it reflects an operational reality already demonstrated on the ground. The Iranian commander warned US forces that Iran has prepared free, one-way tickets straight to hell for them. The United States has killed 55 innocent Iranian civilians in recent strikes and injured over 600 others while also attacking civilian infrastructure in Iran.
Saudi aggression on Yemen
Yemen's Ansarullah movement has vowed that Saudi strikes on civilian infrastructure in Hodeidah and Kamaran Island "will not go unanswered," declaring "blockade for blockade, ports for ports, escalation for escalation" as the new formula for the next phase. The political bureau condemned the Saudi attack on civilian facilities, including Hodeidah port, calling it a "dangerous escalation" and a violation of international law. The strikes wounded two people. Saudi Arabia said it targeted military sites threatening Red Sea shipping. The attack follows Yemen's naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in response to Riyadh's 12-year siege. The Yemeni Foreign Ministry also warned Riyadh would face consequences for its "criminal step."
