Iran Speaker Issues Warning on Deals

Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted on social media Sunday morning with a clear message: The era of one-sided deals is over. We told you to keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking.

Ghalibaf sent this note as Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that its aerospace units had launched a heavy strike on US aircraft carrier support and refueling platforms at the port of Duqm in Oman. This marked the third phase of its response to what it described as US military aggression.

The IRGC noted that the operation hit logistical support centers for US naval vessels.

US Reports Strikes on 140 Iranian Targets

US forces finished a third round of strikes this week against Iran, the Central Command said late Saturday in a post on X.

They struck about 140 Iranian military targets on Saturday, the Central Command noted. The targets included Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks, and coastal surveillance locations.

Over three nights of strikes this week, US forces hit more than 300 targets, the military added.

The Central Command said the Saturday strikes responded to the attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Commercial vessel transits through the vital international maritime corridor continue, it added.

US strikes followed hours after Iran said it closed the strait after firing a warning shot that hit a vessel on an unapproved route. Iran warned that any retaliation would face a severe response.

US Central Command identified the vessel as the M/V GFS Galaxy, a Cyprus-flagged container ship. It suffered significant engine-room damage and a civilian crew member is missing.

US-Iran Exchanges Escalate Over Strait Closure

A series of attacks between the US and Iran over recent days led US President Donald Trump to declare the end of a ceasefire meant to halt the fighting that the US and Israel began on February 28, though Trump has left the door open to continued negotiations.

Iran said it closed the strait after firing a warning shot that struck a vessel traveling on an unapproved route. It warned that any retaliation over the incident would be met with a severe response.

US Central Command, however, said commercial vessels continue to transit through the waterway that carried one-fifth of the world's oil and LNG shipments before the war.
