The military engagement resulted in 14 reported fatalities, including nine members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Iran launched a wave of retaliatory missiles directed at Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait. While a majority of the incoming missiles were successfully intercepted, authorities in Kuwait confirmed that falling debris caused one injury, and the Kingdom of Jordan reported intercepting eight separate missiles.
Iran continues to maintain a defiant stance against Western military intervention, with its parliament speaker announcing that the Strait of Hormuz will only operate under direct Iranian arrangement rather than American threats. The escalating situation coincided with the conclusion of a six-day funeral procession for the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in his hometown of Mashhad, which transformed into a large public demonstration against the U.S. and its diplomatic agreements. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spent the afternoon initiating calls to regional counterparts in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Oman, Qatar, and Turkey to cultivate regional diplomatic support.
