Satellite imagery and reports indicate that U.S. forces may have struck Iranian water infrastructure on a hill near populated areas, with Iranian media claiming 20,000 residents are now without water and suggesting the strikes could constitute a war crime. Tehran responded to the attack with a round of strikes targeting US military assets across the region in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.

Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. We are the world's greatest military power, and sometimes you have to use it.
2. At some point in the not ‌too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, ⁠and ⁠other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, ‌much like ⁠we have with Venezuela.
3. The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT.
4. The Fake News Media refuses to report how EFFECTIVE the U.S. Naval BLOCKADE is, the most successful Blockade in the history of Naval Warfare. NOTHING GETS THROUGH unless we want it to. IT IS A STEEL WALL!
5. Iran's Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn't even exist anymore — They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!
6. We hit them hard yesterday and we're going to hit them hard again today.
US Central Command
1. US central command forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5.15 pm ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief's direction. The strikes are in response to Iran's unwarranted and continued aggression.
Iranian Revolutionary Guards
1. Any vessel attempting to transit the strait will be targeted.
2. Effective immediately, due to insecurity in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is declared closed to all vessels, including oil tankers and commercial ships.
3. During two waves of operations, eighteen important targets belonging to the US Army in the bases of Ali and Ahmad Ahmad Air Force (were hit).
4. In response to the enemy's vicious move, the IRGC naval fighters launched a drone strike on the Bahraini 5th Navy at 2:30 am (2300 GMT Tuesday).
5. The warmongering US regime attacked several points in Jask, Sirik and Qeshm early this morning under false pretexts, damaging a telecommunications mast in Sirik and destroying two water tanks in the city.
Hakan Fidan
1. We recommend that the parties halt their mutual attacks and resume negotiations.
2. The reciprocal attacks that began two days ago raise fears of an escalation.
Tahir Andrabi
1. Pakistan reaffirms its support for the peaceful resolution of all outstanding issues. We are of the view that diplomacy and dialogue should be the guiding principles for achieving a negotiated settlement of all contentious issues in accordance with the rights and responsibilities of the relevant parties.
2. Pakistan remains deeply concerned at the situation in the region marked by recent escalation. We appeal to the parties to adhere to the understanding reached on the ceasefire.
Jordanian Armed Forces
1. The interception resulted in the fall of missile debris in the area, but no injuries or material damage were reported.
2. At dawn on Thursday, Jordanian air defence systems and the Royal Jordanian air force intercepted and shot down 20 missiles that had been launched from Iran towards the Azraq area in Zarqa governorate.
Pete Hegseth
Pentagon
1. If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs, and we're very good at it.
2. Instead they're going to have tap, tap, tap, bombs dropping on key facilities in Iran from the United States of America.
3. You can see when someone's trying to tap, tap, tap on a deal.
4. Those strikes that'll happen tonight will be strong, they will be clear. If they happen to happen tomorrow night, they will be strong and they will be clear.
Esmaeil Baqaeil
Iranian Foreign Ministry
1. Diplomacy and military force do not contradict each other; they are two sides of the same strategy to defend Iran's interests and security.
2. The US must be held accountable for committing such systematic brutal attacks on civilian life-sustaining infrastructure.
3. This is not collateral damage, it is a calculated war crime and a flagrant violation of human rights.
