The United States imposed a new package of sanctions on Iran targeting an entity and an individual, as part of escalating pressure on Tehran, following days of threats to tighten sanctions further. Washington also transferred large quantities of ammunition to the Middle East to bolster its deterrence amid a decline in its military stockpile, facing Iranian challenges. Iran, for its part, called for social cohesion and described the sanctions as unjust conspiracies, while the government continued to stand firm against the pressures, emphasizing that diplomatic and defense approaches are not mutually exclusive. The Iranian president also demanded an end to the siege and sanctions, and called for an halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, signaling Tehran's readiness to open the Strait of Hormuz if Washington honors its commitments. Meanwhile, the foreign minister stated that a return to dialogue depends on America's understanding that pressure tactics are ineffective. In regional developments, tensions between Israel and Hezbollah remain ongoing, with Israel refusing to withdraw from southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah rejects the agreement between Lebanon and Israel.
