伊朗卫生部发言人侯赛因·克尔曼普尔在社交媒体上表示"伊朗度过了平静的一夜"[1][2],这打破了近两周来连续遭受美国打击的局面。美国中央司令部在前13个夜晚宣布了新的打击行动,但周六未宣布新的打击[1]。然而,地区冲突的升级态势并未随之缓解。沙特阿拉伯和巴林周六凌晨发动了导弹警报[1],伊朗支持的也门胡塞武装宣称对沙特南部城市吉赞进行了导弹袭击[2],沙特防空系统拦截了来自也门的两枚弹道导弹[2]。
中东地区的冲突已造成严重伤亡。根据报道,战争导致伊朗超过3,400人死亡,美国军人18人阵亡,以色列平民24人死亡[1]。在黎巴嫩,已有超过4,000人死亡,以及38名以色列军人伤亡,伊朗支持的真主党武装对以色列开火[1]。霍尔木兹海峡因伊朗攻击实际上被关闭[1],这条通道是全球五分之一石油和天然气的运输通道[2]。油价在周四首次突破每桶100美元[2],南红海航运保险费用对部分公司翻倍[2]。
伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队发言人称如英国支持美国对伊战争,英国将成为"确定和合法目标"[2]。与此同时,伊朗外交部长阿拉格奇表示"没有军事解决方案可以解决也门问题"[2]。美伊两国曾于6月签署谅解备忘录,旨在暂停敌对行动60天进行谈判[2],但目前地区冲突升级已阻碍谈判进展。
Iran's Health Ministry spokesman Hossein Kermanpour announced on Saturday that the country had experienced "a peaceful night," marking a break from the relentless bombardment of the previous two weeks.[1][2] The U.S. Central Command, which had announced fresh strikes on each of the preceding thirteen nights, refrained from announcing new military action on Saturday.[1] However, the momentary pause in direct U.S.-Iran hostilities did not ease broader regional tensions, as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain detected incoming missile alarms in the early morning hours and the Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack on the Saudi southern city of Jizan.[2]
The underlying conflict centers on control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas transit.[2] The escalation has had far-reaching consequences: oil prices breached $100 per barrel for the first time since May on Thursday,[2] and insurance premiums for shipping in the southern Red Sea have doubled for some companies.[2] The reported toll includes over 3,400 Iranian deaths, 18 U.S. military personnel, and 24 Israeli civilians, alongside more than 4,000 deaths in Lebanon and 38 Israeli military fatalities.[1]
Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate remain uncertain. A U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding signed in June aimed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and suspend hostilities for sixty days of negotiations,[2] yet the intensifying military confrontation has impeded progress toward talks. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that "there is no military solution" to the Yemen crisis,[2] while the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps warned that should Britain support American military operations against Iran, Britain would become a "definite and legitimate target."[2]
