Iran state TV urges Algeria to defeat Austria for Iran's World Cup advance

The naval command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said US “blind strikes” on Sirik do not resolve what it described as Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.

"America's blind strikes on Sirik will not undermine our control over the Strait. But our strikes against violators serve as a reminder to other vessels of the proper route for safe passage," it posted on X. "As for US bases in the region, that is a separate matter. They will experience hell in the days ahead."

Heavy deployment of Iraqi special forces, including Humvees and tanks, has been reported inside Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, which has been closed, according to Washington Post Baghdad Bureau reporter Mustafa Salim.

Salim said reports are emerging of arrests targeting senior government officials on corruption-related charges.

The General Command of the Armed Forces said air defenses are currently intercepting hostile missile and drone attacks over Kuwait.

It said any explosion sounds are the result of air defense systems engaging incoming threats, and urged the public to follow security and safety instructions issued by the competent authorities.

Iranian foreign policy analyst Ali Samadzadeh suggested that Tehran could support Hezbollah in Lebanon by using tools such as Yemen’s Ansarallah and cutting Saudi Arabia’s oil exports.

In remarks reported in Iranian media, he said Iran could exert pressure on Riyadh - and by extension the United States and the Lebanese government - without firing a single shot. Samadzadeh also claimed that Iran has “contained the US military machine” and described Saudi Arabia as “not significant” in comparison.

US Representative Ro Khanna said on Saturday recent strikes are a “blatant violation” of the War Powers Resolution, arguing the measure was intended to limit such military action.

In a post on X, Khanna said US President Donald Trump must stop the war immediately or face legal action aimed at compelling an end to it.
