The conflict between the United States and Iran has entered a new dangerous phase. On the night of 9 to 10 June 2026, US forces carried out precise strikes on Iranian military installations in strategic locations on the Strait of Ormuz.
US attacks
American forces hit anti-aircraft defense systems, radars and control stations in the area Jask, Sirik and Qeshm Island. These were key objects protecting the entrance to the Strait of Ormuz – one of the most important oil transport arteries in the world.
Response from Iran
Iran szybko zareagował. Według oświadczeń irańskich sił zbrojnych, Teheran przeprowadził atak dronami i rakietami balistycznymi na amerykańskie bazy w regionie, w tym w Jordanii, Bahrajnie i Kuwejcie. Irańskie media twierdzą, że trafiono 21 objectives. So far, there's no evidence of casualties among American personnel.
Trump's harsh words
Prezydent Donald Trump zareagował bardzo stanowczo. W opublikowanym oświadczeniu ostrzegł:
„Jeśli Iran nie będzie chciał sensownego porozumienia, będziemy atakować ich bardzo mocno. Nie mamy zamiaru tolerować dalszych ataków na nasze siły i interesy.”
Negotiations on the edge
Despite escalation, negotiations between the parties continue – through Qatar. But so far both sides are far from compromise. Iran demands the abolition of sanctions and security guarantees, while the US expects a significant reduction in Iran's missile and nuclear programme.
Experts are concerned that further escalation may lead to the closure of the Strait of Ormuz, which would trigger a global energy crisis and a sharp rise in oil prices.
The situation remains very tense and dynamic.
