Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that Iran warned against attacking its infrastructure, and Iran would retaliate if it did.

Ghalibaf wrote on the social network X: "The enemy should understand that we will respond proportionally and swiftly to any of their actions; no atrocity will go unanswered. Today, we adhere to the principle of 'an eye for an eye,' with no exceptions. If they wage war against infrastructure, we will retaliate in the same way."

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement saying that the US designates Afghanistan as an "illegal detention sponsor."

The US Department of State said that entities listed on the relevant list "may face severe penalties, including economic sanctions and visa restrictions."

Rubio said in the statement: "Today, I announce that Afghanistan is designated as an illegal detention sponsor. The Taliban continues to kidnap hostages for ransom or political concessions, these heinous acts must stop."

He also claimed that it is unsafe for Americans to travel to Afghanistan because the country's authorities continue to "wrongfully detain our citizens and other foreigners."

Rubio also called on the Taliban to release detained Americans.

The news agency of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement saying that any Arab or European country that expels its American ambassador can obtain the right to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian state television quoted the statement of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, saying: "Any Arab or European country that expels its Israeli and American ambassadors from its territory can obtain full freedom and the right to pass through the Strait of Hormuz starting tomorrow."

President Trump explained the reason for launching the strike on Iran by citing intelligence that Tehran was preparing to attack the US within a week.

Trump told Republican members, "I want to tell you the most important reason for launching the military action against Iran: they are preparing to attack us within a week. They have all these missiles. They are 100% prepared to attack us, and they are also ready to strike the entire Middle East and Israel."

President Trump said that in order to control prices, sanctions on some countries will be lifted.

He said, "To lower prices, we will lift some oil sanctions. We have imposed sanctions on some countries, which we are prepared to lift until the situation stabilizes."

Trump also did not rule out the possibility of reimposing these sanctions later.

President Trump said that since the start of the operation against Iran, more than 5,000 targets have been attacked, and some of the most important targets "will be destroyed later."

Trump said at a press conference, "So far, we have struck more than 5,000 targets, some of which are very large targets, and some of the most important targets will be destroyed later."

He told reporters, "Our military objectives in the operation against Iran are making significant progress."
