Regional Retaliation: Iran claimed strikes on U.S.-linked sites across Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, as Gulf states reported interceptions and sirens. Diplomacy vs Escalation: Iran-Oman talks on Hormuz security in Muscat were overtaken by the closure and strikes, while Pakistan and Iraq urged restraint and dialogue tied to the MoU framework.
