据伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃指责称，美国的侵略性行动、破坏霍尔木兹海峡安全的行为，以及越权和不当举措，是国际油价大幅上涨及海上航行安全受到干扰的主要原因。他进一步表示，华盛顿领导人此前已承认采取类似海盗的方式扣押船只，如今美国政府自身的行为正在给全球经济及美国民众带来巨大压力。巴加埃还指责美国方面否认针对地区国家民众实施的暴行，并将相关事件归咎于所谓人工合成影像。他表示，这些说法源于敌方毫无根据的幻想，而不可否认的战场现实终将戳破这些幻想与虚假指控。

The Russian Defence Ministry said over the past week Ukrainian armed forces carried out 18 artillery strikes and more than 120 drone attacks on the village of Aleksandrovka and the main roads leading to it.

Russia's FSB said on Monday it foiled a plot it says was orchestrated by Ukraine to carry out drone strikes on a key Moscow air‑defence facility and a power site, and arrested two suspects. The FSB said the two men, from the South Caucasus region, acted on instructions from the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). According to the FSB, they sourced FPV drones and explosives in two Russian regions, moved them to the Moscow region, then assembled and activated the devices; the drones were intended to be remotely controlled by Ukraine.
