Tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated sharply as both sides launch strikes across the Gulf. Iran's military command warned that any U.S. attack on its infrastructure would trigger a devastating response across West Asia. The U.S. conducted a six-hour wave of strikes to degrade Iran's ability to threaten mariners in the Strait of Hormuz. UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged immediate de-escalation and a return to diplomacy. This sixth consecutive day of hostilities puts regional stability and global maritime security at risk. The situation underscores the urgent need for dialogue.
