Explosions heard in Iran, Mehr says Bandar Abbas situation under control
Iran says U.S. strikes threaten talks as officials warn any new aggression could bring a wider, stronger retaliation.
- On Tuesday, U.S. military command spokesman Timoti Hokins told CNN that American forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran to protect troops from Iranian threats, with Iranian state agency Tasnim reporting three explosions in the port of Bandar Abbas.
- Hokins stated the strikes targeted Iranian attempts to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz and rocket launcher attacks on American aircraft, while Iranian military official Ebrahim Zolfaghari declared such U.S. operations prevent any Tehran-Washington agreement.
- Iranian military spokesperson Abolfazl Shekarchi warned that renewed conflict would bring attacks beyond regional borders that are 'stronger and more violent than previous confrontations,' while Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei declared the region 'will no longer be a safe haven for American bases.'
- Iran's foreign ministry acknowledged limited progress in negotiations while signaling a deal remains distant, as Senator Marko Rubio said talks could extend several days and stressed the Strait of Hormuz 'must remain open one way or another.'
- Global oil prices surged more than 4% following the strikes, with analysts warning of potential $200 per barrel prices, while Iran possesses approximately 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent with a short pathway to weapons-grade material according to BBC reporting.
