Iran threatens to damage critical undersea communication cables in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohbi. The threat comes amid a harsh attack by US President Donald Trump against the Iranian regime, in which he accused it of killing 75,000 protesters in the last eight months and causing the deaths of American soldiers through roadside bombs. Trump revealed that he tested NATO countries' willingness to assist against Iran and claimed they refused. Meanwhile, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth secretly met in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for discussions on resuming military operations against Tehran. China harshly condemned the US-Israeli strikes, and Pakistan is initiating mediation efforts. Oil markets are reacting with volatility: Brent trades around $109.55, US oil jumped to $103.66.
