Iran vows ‘long, painful’ response if US renews attacks | US-Israel war on Iran News

Iran has vowed a "long and painful" response if the United States renews attacks, citing its claim to the Strait of Hormuz. The closure of the strait, which restricts 20% of global oil and gas supplies, continues to complicate efforts to reopen it. President Donald Trump received briefings on potential military strikes against Iran, but a decision on whether to renew attacks is pending Congressional approval. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has stated that the Strait will be defended under new management. The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have imposed travel restrictions on citizens of Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq, urging their residents to leave those countries.
