ABD-İran askeri tırmanışı derinleşiyor: Irak, Ürdün, Kuveyt hedefte, görüşmeler askıda

ABD ile İran arasındaki barış görüşmelerinin "durdurulduğu" öne sürüldü

ABD ile İran arasında son günlerde Hürmüz Boğazı'nda yaşanan karşılıklı saldırıların ardından, İsviçre'de yapılması planlanan barış görüşmelerinin "durdurulduğu" iddia edildi. Konuyla ilgili bilgi sahibi kişilerin Wall Street Journal'a (WSJ) bildirdiğine göre, ABD-İran arasındaki görüşmeler, Hürmüz Boğazı'nda yaşanan son çatışmaların ardından askıya alındı. Haberde, iki ülke arasındaki saldırıların, "bu hafta sonu İsviçre'de yeniden başlaması beklenen görüşmelerin durdurulmasına" yol açtığı ileri sürüldü. ABD Başkanı Donald Trump'ın haziran ayı başında imzaladığı mutabakat zaptına atıf yapılan haberde, İran'ın Hürmüz Boğazı'nı ticari gemilerin geçişine açık tutma yükümlülüğüne dikkat çekildi. ABD'nin Birleşmiş Milletler Daimi Temsilcisi Mike Waltz, Fox News'e verdiği röportajda, Tahran'ın Hürmüz Boğazı'ndaki uluslararası deniz trafiğini tehdit etmesi halinde ABD'nin İran'ın askeri altyapısını hedef almaya devam edeceğini açıklamıştı. İran ve ABD yönetimi, karşılıklı olarak birbirini varılan mutabakatı ihlal etmekle suçluyor. Bu kapsamda İran, Katar'dan petrol taşıyan bir konteyner gemisine ve bir tankere saldırı düzenlemiş, ABD de buna karşılık İran iletişim hatlarını, insansız hava araçlarını ve füze üslerini vurmuştu.

Tehran says Strait of Hormuz shut after US launches fresh strikes on Iran; Gulf states hit

The US military launched fresh strikes on Iran after the latter struck a container ship on Sunday, while Tehran said it had again closed the Strait of Hormuz and escalated attacks on US facilities in states across the Gulf. The strikes were the latest in a cycle of attacks and counter-attacks as Iran seeks to assert control over shipping through the strait. However, the latest barrage marked a sharp escalation in pace and range. The attacks extended to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which had not been targeted since early May, and Qatar, a mediator in ceasefire talks that had not come under attack since April. Iran said it closed the strait after firing a warning ​shot that struck a vessel travelling on an “unauthorised route”. It warned that any retaliation over the incident would be met with a “severe response”. Iran later said it had disabled a second vessel. India said one of its nationals was missing after an attack on the container ship GFS Galaxy off the coast of Oman earlier on Sunday. Oman said 23 crew members had been rescued. Qatar advised all vessels, including leisure boats, ​fishing boats and jet skis, to suspend activities. The strait will remain closed until “the end of US interference in this region”, the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said. However, the US Central Command (Centcom) claimed that commercial ​vessels continue to transit through the waterway that carried one-fifth of the world’s oil and LNG shipments before the war. Centcom said its forces were positioned to safeguard freedom ​of navigation despite what it described as “aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declarations” from Iran. “Iran does not control the strait. Traffic is flowing,” it asserted. The renewed violence casts further doubt on the future of ​an interim US-Iranian agreement signed on June 18 that aimed to reopen the strait and end the war after a further 60 days of negotiations. In the past week, US President Donald Trump has said he considers the ceasefire over, while leaving the door open to more talks. The war that began with US and Israeli strikes against Iran on February 28 ⁠has destabilised the Gulf, while Iran’s effective blockade of the strait has driven energy prices higher, fuelling global inflation. Higher prices, ‌especially for ⁠gasoline, are a politically sensitive issue for Trump ahead of the November congressional elections. UAE, mediator Qatar among Gulf countries hit Earlier in the day, Centcom announced that US forces hit 140 Iranian military targets on Saturday, and more than 300 over three nights of strikes this week “to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels ​freely transiting the strait”. Iranian state media reported explosions in several port cities and said an Iranian army officer had been killed in “US-Israeli” attacks on Iran. In response, the IRGC said it had destroyed a command-and-control centre and drone hangars in US ally Jordan, targeted a US radar site in Kuwait, attacked US aircraft carrier support and refuelling platforms in Oman, and destroyed a jet maintenance centre and command facility in ​Qatar. Qatar, which has previously said it would not ​act as a mediator so long as it ⁠was under attack, said three people, including a child, had been injured by falling shrapnel. It said Iran was “fully legally responsible” for the attack. The UAE said it detected missile threats outside its borders, Bahrain said it intercepted several Iranian aerial attacks, Jordan reported missile strikes, and Oman reported being targeted with drones. Oman said it ​had summoned Iran’s ambassador to protest over drone attacks in two regions and the US embassy in Oman told its nationals in Duqm and Musandam ​to shelter in place. ‘Keep your word or pay the price’ The latest round of hostilities came after talks in Oman on Saturday between Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi. Iran said the talks were aimed at coordinating arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz, and were set to continue with a Qatari presence. Araghchi later discussed regional developments in a phone call with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who called for parties to de-escalate and show restraint. “There can only be mutual compliance,” Araghchi had written on X on Friday. On Tuesday, the US revoked the licence authorising the sale of Iranian crude after Qatari and ​Saudi commercial tankers came under fire. Iran has not claimed responsibility for earlier ship attacks. On Sunday, Iran’s top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted on X: “The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told ​you: keep your word or pay the price. ​Reality is knocking.” A day earlier, a written statement from Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, threatened vengeance for the assassination of his predecessor and father in the war’s initial attacks. “We pledge to ​avenge the blood of the martyred leader and all the martyrs,” his message said.

US strikes Iran's coastal defences in fresh salvo; Tehran again targets American assets in Gulf states

The US, early on Thursday, launched a second wave of attacks on Iran’s coastal defences and missile sites within a span of 24 hours after reimposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports, and Tehran responded by again targeting US military sites in neighboring Gulf countries. The latest escalation comes days after a fragile truce collapsed, raising the specter of a return to full-scale war, with Iran once again threatening to shut off more regional energy exports after blocking the vital Strait of Hormuz. Hostilities have intensified since Iran said late on Saturday it had closed the Strait of Hormuz. Military operations are also keeping ships from transiting the vital artery, which carried about a fifth of global oil and gas shipments before the US-Israeli war on Iran. Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, closed at a one-month high of $84.95 a barrel on Wednesday. US Central Command said the military had attacked coastal defence systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Iran’s Greater Tunb Island starting around 6am EDT, then launched a second wave of strikes against multiple cities nine hours later. “US forces struck Iranian command centres, air defence sites, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance facilities,” it said in a statement, adding it also hit targets in Bandar Abbas, home to Iran’s largest port and key navy and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards facilities on the Strait of Hormuz. “Earlier this morning, American forces struck coastal defence and cruise missile sites on Greater Tunb Island during a 90-minute wave,” the US military added. The US military also said it disabled an unladen oil tanker attempting to sail toward Iran’s Kharg Island after it ignored multiple warnings, firing Hellfire missiles into the ship’s smokestack. Since resuming a naval blockade against Iran on Tuesday, the US has redirected two ships and disabled another, the military said. Iranian news media reported a series of explosions, mainly in coastal areas such as Bandar Abbas. Other explosions or projectile strikes were reported around the city of Ahvaz, just inland from the northern end of the Gulf, and Konarak, Sirik and Qeshm in southern Iran. Press TV reported at least two explosions in the central Iranian city of Khondab, about 250 km southwest of Tehran. Mehr news agency reported Iran activated its air defences in Tehran to counter “hostile threats.” Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported that the US attacks struck near a hospital in Ahvaz that houses a pediatric cancer centre, forcing the temporary evacuation of the hospital. Families have come out to the streets around the hospital to care for their children, IRIB said. For its part, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had struck US military targets in the region, including in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. The Guards said it targeted the “communication systems and fuel storage facilities of the US military” in Jordan. Separately, the IRGC said it struck “radar systems, a Patriot air defence system, and fuel storage facilities at Ali Al Salem Air Base” in Kuwait and US military facilities at the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, IRIB reported. The war has killed thousands of people and displaced millions, mainly in Iran and Lebanon, where the conflict restarted between Israel and Hezbollah. After the first wave, Tehran’s top negotiator Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf issued a statement declaring that Iranian security depended on maintaining what he called “Iranian arrangements” in the strait. “We are in an essential and existential war with America,” Qalibaf said. Trump claims Iran wants to settle US President Donald Trump struck a triumphant note, as he has repeatedly since the US and Israel started hostilities on February 28, saying, “We’ll have Iran defeated soon. They’ll be defeated very soon.” Speaking at a roundtable event at the Pennsylvania Defence and Innovation Summit, Trump also claimed the Iranians want to “settle so badly”. “They don’t like what we’re doing, and they do want to settle. We’ll find out whether or not we settle with them, or we just finish it off,” Trump said. On Tuesday, Trump said US negotiators had been in touch with their Iranian counterparts to tell them “you better make a deal.” Iran’s military spokesperson said that the only way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was for the US to comply with the 14-point memorandum of understanding that the two sides signed in June, and the implementation of “Iranian regulations” regarding ship traffic in the strait. Even amid the hostilities, there was a possible sign of goodwill. Trump said Iran had allowed an American who was “wrongfully detained” during the Biden administration’s tenure in 2024 to leave the country. “The United States of America appreciates this gesture of Goodwill by Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Human rights attorney Jared Genser identified the released American as Dena Karari, who had been prevented from leaving Iran since December 2024. “Dena is now safe and traveling back to the United States,” Genser wrote on X, thanking Trump for his efforts to free her.
