01 · THE DISPATCH

Following the recent escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States has reportedly issued a warning to Gulf states, urging them to prepare for a possible Iranian retaliatory response. The warning, reported by Israeli media, underscores Washington's assessment that Tehran may seek to act against American interests or regional allies. The move comes amid a series of military exchanges and threats between the US and Iran, which have included US strikes on Iranian naval facilities in Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island, as well as Iranian warnings to Gulf states against hosting US forces. The Zioneer has previously documented these developments, including the IRGC's threats of imminent retaliation and President Trump's warnings of severe consequences. As of this report, no specific Iranian action has been confirmed, and the nature of the potential response remains unclear.
