Iran warns against new escalation by US and allies
Iran said sustained strikes would hit US bases and interests if Washington resumes attacks, and warned regional allies they would be treated as parties to the conflict.
- On Sunday, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya military headquarters warned that any new U.S. strike would trigger "painful attacks" against American bases and interests, claiming it possessed intelligence that Washington was planning further military action.
- Regional tensions intensified Saturday after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis launched missile and drone strikes on Riyadh and a major Saudi oil facility in Yanbu, a linchpin of the kingdom's east-west pipeline export route.
- President Donald Trump stated Sunday he is in "deciding mode" regarding potential military strikes, offering Tehran a choice between a negotiated deal, economic ruin, or being "wiped out."

- The conflict remains stalemated as Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining the waterway will stay closed until the terms of a collapsed June ceasefire agreement are met.
