The massive Iranian damage to the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain prompts Washington to consider relocating its military assets in the Persian Gulf into the Israeli regime.

Persian Gulf states' hostile proxy tactics, driven by US pressure to challenge Iran's post-war ascendancy, demand Iran's decisive strategic response – diplomatic exclusion, Strait of Hormuz leverage, and Resistance Front consolidation – to permanently end their era of dual alignment against their permanent neighbor.

A communication line has been established between Iran and the United States in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has fiercely condemned a joint statement by the United States and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as "meddlesome, irresponsible, and provocative."

A UK-based human rights organization says Bahraini forces have intensified pressure on the country’s Shia community ahead of Ashura.
