Chief of Staff Ali Abdollahi warned that any new miscalculation would be followed by “far more devastating strikes.”
Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei threatened to target “distant US bases” if attacks resumed, while rejecting the removal of “even a single particle” of enriched nuclear material.
In the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that two oil tankers had exploded after striking naval mines, while the Army's navy reported that a third tanker had caught fire. The incidents followed attacks on 37 vessels in October.
In its final statement issued in Paris, the Group of Seven (G7) called on Iran to resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and halt its “continued attacks” on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The group pledged to restrict Tehran's capabilities through economic and political measures.
The G7 also strongly condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and called on all parties, particularly Iran, to stop supplying the group with weapons.
