Iranian official: We are seriously considering closing Strait of Hormuz
Tehran – Saba: A prominent member of the Iranian parliament said on Saturday that his country is seriously considering closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz, in light of the ongoing Zionist aggression against Iran, which has been ongoing since dawn on Friday. The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted Ismail Kowsari, a member of the parliament's Security Committee, as saying that Iran is seriously considering closing the Strait of Hormuz, located between Oman and Iran and considered the world's most important oil shipping gateway. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow shipping lane in the Gulf region and is an important outlet for oil to the world, with two-thirds of the world's oil production passing through it.

Iraqi security official denies US military activity at Ain al-Asad Base
Shafaq News / The head of Al-Anbar's Security Committee, Saad Ghazi al-Mohammadi, on Thursday dismissed reports of unusual activity at the US-operated Ain al-Asad Air Base, clarifying that the only notable event was the sound of military aircraft overnight. 'There are no movements inside Ain al-Asad,' al-Mohammadi told Shafaq News, adding that the security situation across the province remains stable. 'We heard warplanes, but no troop movement occurred near the base or on main roads.' The statement comes amid rising regional tension after Iranian threats to strike US bases if nuclear talks collapse. The Pentagon has since authorized the voluntary departure of military families from several CENTCOM locations, including Iraq. Ain al-Asad, one of the largest US bases in Iraq, has previously been targeted by Iranian missile strikes and armed factions' rockets.
