Iran live updates: US conducts new strikes on Iranian targets, officials say

Several Gulf states and Pakistan responded to Iranian strikes on Saturday night and Sunday with strongly worded statements.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry called the attacks “a blatant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the targeted countries, and a flagrant breach of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and the principles of good neighborliness.”

In a statement posted on X, the ministry said it is holding Iran legally responsible for the strikes and their fallout.

Oman’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on X that it summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest the strikes, expressing “dismay at these irresponsible acts.”

Pakistan's foreign ministry also voiced “deep concern” over the escalation in regional tensions and urged “all sides to exercise restraint, take immediate steps towards de-escalation and uphold respective commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).”

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned what it called Iran’s “continued destabilizing behavior that undermines the security and stability of the region, and its violation of the principles of international law.”

Despite IRGC claims to the contrary, the “Strait of Hormuz is open to all vessels seeking to lawfully transit the international waterway,” U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a post on X Sunday morning.

"U.S. forces are positioned and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available despite unwarranted Iranian aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declarations. Iran does not control the strait,” the post reads. "Traffic is flowing.”

The Joint Maritime Information Center also says the Strait of Hormuz is open but maintains the regional threat level as “severe” as traffic has continued to flow at a trickle in recent days.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' navy announced Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice and claimed a commercial vessel transiting the waterway was hit and "halted" by a "warning shot" it fired, according to Iranian media.

The statement also said that any U.S. or allied response would be met by "severe" retaliation.

At least five Middle Eastern states reported fresh attacks on Saturday night and Sunday morning as fighting again escalated between the U.S. and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

Qatar and the United Arab Emirates both reported that their defensive systems intercepted missile attacks. At least three people were injured by falling debris in Qatar, the country's Interior Ministry said in a statement shared on social media.

In Jordan, a government statement said that three missiles "originating from Iranian territory fell early Sunday morning across several locations inside the kingdom. No casualties were reported, and the impact resulted only in minor material damage."

Kuwait's army said its forces intercepted an unspecified aerial threat in the Gulf nation's airspace. In Oman, state media said that sites in the Musandam Governorate were targeted by drones.

In Bahrain, meanwhile, air raid sirens were sounding on Sunday morning but there was no official confirmation of new attacks.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament who has served as Tehran's chief negotiator in peace talks, suggested in a post to X on Sunday that the U.S. had failed to honor last month's memorandum of understanding.

"The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking.," Ghalibaf wrote, posting a screenshot of the text of the MOU in which Iran committed to arranging safe passage for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Ghalibaf's post came after the U.S. launched a new round of airstrikes on Iranian targets in response to Tehran's attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps alleged in a statement that was read on state run TV on Saturday that several ships used unapproved routes and ignored warnings from the IRGC Navy.

The IRGC Navy said that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice and claimed that a commercial vessel transiting the waterway was hit and "halted" by a "warning shot" it fired.
