In response, Tehran launched strikes in various regions across the United States, including Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Iraq's northern Kurdish province of Erbil.\n\nIran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesperson declared that operations against the US will persist as a lesson until they regret their actions. He asserted that continued American aggression in the region will face more severe, widespread, and devastating responses, and any nation cooperating with the aggressive American military must bear the dangerous consequences.\n\nUS Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced on Monday that 17 million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz. However, this data contradicts preliminary ship-tracking information from Kpler, which recorded only five cargo vessels transiting the waterway that day, with no liquid tankers noted.\n\nUS President Donald Trump has dismissed reports suggesting he aims to reinvolve Iran in peace negotiations. According to Trump, as reported by ABC Fake News, he is not attempting to force Iran into a bargaining position. He stated in a post on his platform, Truth Social, that he does not care if Iran signs a meaningless agreement. Additionally, Trump affirmed that the US maintains almost complete control over the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nTwo Israeli air strikes targeted areas near the southern Lebanese towns of Kfar Rumman and Arab Salim, according to Al Jazeera. Beforehand, the Israeli military reported that interceptors were launched towards a suspicious aerial target, alleging it crossed from Lebanese territory into northern Israel.",
