Recent US attacks near Hormuz have also hit a wedding party, resulting in two fatalities. Iranian Revolutionary Guards have warned that the United States will regret such attacks and have intensified their blockade in the region.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of the Army Driscoll has resigned, creating a rift within the Trump administration. Driscoll, a former official well-regarded by both sides, stepped down after conflicts with another staff member, Hegseth.

Pezeshkian, an Iranian official, stated that if the United States returns to the previous memorandum, Iran will act accordingly, emphasizing the country's long history of honoring commitments, unlike the United States. The Guards have warned that severe punishment awaits aggressors.
