伊朗方面随即表示对霍尔木兹海峡的控制态度。伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书兼革命卫队司令穆罕默德·巴格尔·佐勒加德声称伊朗将维持对该海峡的封锁，直到美国"改正其行为"。[1]伊朗要求美国永远不再威胁伊朗、永久结束对伊朗及其地区盟友的战争、解除对伊朗港口和船只的封锁、解除制裁并释放冻结资产。[1]伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐表示与阿曼就霍尔木兹海峡航运问题的谈判已接近"最后阶段"，但他警告称这"不是"海峡即将重新开放的迹象。[1]伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队发言人侯赛因·穆海比补充称，海峡的重新开放"与伊朗、阿曼和其他国家之间的谈判无关"。[1]

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement claimed responsibility for a drone strike against the Aramco refinery in Gazan on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast.[1] According to the Saudi energy ministry, a fire broke out at the facility but was extinguished with no casualties reported.[1]
The attack marks an escalation in broader regional tensions centered on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander and Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr stated that Iran would maintain its blockade of the strait until the United States "corrects its behavior."[1] Iran has set explicit preconditions for reopening the waterway, demanding that the U.S. cease all threats against Iran, end military operations involving Iran and its regional allies, lift blockades on Iranian ports and vessels, and remove sanctions while releasing frozen assets.[1]
Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi characterized discussions with Oman as approaching their "final stage" but cautioned this should not be interpreted as an imminent reopening of the waterway.[1] Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman Hosein Mohebi emphasized that any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would be independent of concurrent negotiations with Oman.[1] The conflict began in late February and had persisted for approximately five months at the time of reporting, with the strait accounting for roughly 20 percent of global oil and natural gas shipments before the war commenced.[1]
