周日，美国中央司令部对伊朗发动了大规模空袭，打击了其导弹和无人机发射场及弹药库等约 140 个目标 [1]。此次军事行动的背景是一艘悬挂塞浦路斯国旗的集装箱船在霍尔木兹海峡被伊朗击中，该船上所有船员均为印度籍 [1]。
作为回应，伊朗随即对巴林、科威特、卡塔尔和阿曼等海湾国家发动了报复性攻击，导致这些地区发出导弹警报或遭受袭击并造成人员伤亡 [1]。此前两周的空袭已造成至少 17 人死亡和 115 人受伤 [1]。伊朗议会发言人穆罕默德·巴格尔·卡利巴夫对此表示：“单边交易的时代结束了”[1]。
这场始于 2 月 28 日的战争目前面临升级风险，霍尔木兹海峡已成为谈判的关键僵局点，旨在结束冲突的谈判正面临崩溃 [1]。
The United States Central Command launched a large-scale airstrike against approximately 140 Iranian targets, including missile and drone launch sites as well as ammunition depots [1]. This military escalation occurred after an incident where a container ship flying the Cypriot flag was struck by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in injuries to all Indian crew members on board [1]. The conflict has been ongoing since February 28, with the strategic chokepoint serving as a critical sticking point for negotiations aimed at ending the war that began then [1]. Prior airstrikes over the last two weeks have already resulted in at least 17 deaths and 115 injuries [1]. In retaliation against Tehran's actions, Iran launched attacks on Gulf Arab states including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman; these nations issued missile alerts or suffered direct strikes that caused casualties [1]. The intensity of the fighting has raised fears that negotiations to end the war are now at risk of collapse [1]. Mohammad Bagher Kalibaf, a spokesperson for the Iranian parliament, stated in response: "The era of unilateral deals is over" [1].
