Iran threatens greater force if US launches more attacks

Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that any aggression against Iran's interests and security will receive a faster and more intense response. Following exchanges of fire with the US, Iran announced the establishment of a prohibited zone near the Strait of Hormuz. The US Central Command reported that Iran had attempted to strike two American warships, leading to US strikes on oil tankers linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
