伊朗最高领袖顾问雷扎伊：霍尔木兹海峡是一种战略威慑力量，其重要性甚至超过数十枚原子弹。伊朗将守护这条至关重要的水道。

Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel had lost one of its greatest friends and the United States a great patriot after the death of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, adding he had lost a close personal friend.

Iraq’s prime minister will visit Washington on Monday to deepen strategic ties and is expected to sign oil and gas agreements as part of broader economic, trade and investment cooperation. Government spokesman Hader Abadi said the deals will include multiple MOUs and Baghdad is preparing to bring in several US companies to boost oil production capacity. Iraq’s state news agency quoted Abadi saying the agreements will seek alternative export routes to reduce Iraq’s exposure to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Amid heightened US‑Iran military tensions, Iraq is seeking to balance ties with Tehran and Washington; strengthening Iraqi armed forces will also be discussed in Washington.
