Oman has condemned attacks on ships navigating through the strategically important waterway. Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, praised the country's armed forces for their readiness and capability in responding to what he described as the \"world's most expensive military.\" Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated that Tehran does not seek war or territorial expansion, but will resist any form of coercion. Turkey has defended its new defense pact with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, stating that it does not contradict its NATO commitments.

The Arab Parliament and the Arab League have condemned a recent Houthi attack on the Najran region in Saudi Arabia, which resulted in several civilian injuries. The US has imposed sanctions on two digital asset exchanges and a network of companies for allegedly aiding Iran in laundering billions of dollars and supporting terrorism.",
