9. What did Tehran call on the international community to do?

Tehran has appealed to UN member states, especially Muslim and nonaligned nations, to condemn the attack and take collective action to uphold international law, arguing that regional peace and security are at stake.

10. How have Persian Gulf Arab states reacted to Iran’s retaliation?

Several Persian Gulf states have publicly condemned Iran’s retaliatory strikes on their territory or airspace, viewing them as violations of sovereignty and threatening regional security.

An Al Jazeera correspondent reported that Erbil Airport in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq was targeted twice on Saturday.

Syrian state media reported that a missile explosion killed four people and injured numerous others in an industrial area of Suwayda, without noting the source of the missile.

The only country in the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council that Iran has not struck today thus far is Oman.

The crisis is entering a highly dangerous and unpredictable phase. Iran has already launched retaliatory strikes across West Asia, and both the United States and Israel have signalled readiness for prolonged military operations. Regional governments remain on high alert, with airspace closures and security warnings in place.

Whether the conflict remains confined or expands into a broader regional confrontation will depend on diplomatic engagement, restraint by all parties, and international efforts to prevent further escalation.
