The United Nations called for a "sustained reopening" of the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. The appeal followed a series of military actions, including US air strikes on Iranian targets allegedly in retaliation for an Iranian drone attack on a commercial cargo ship. Iran's IRGC responded by targeting US-linked locations, further heightening regional instability. The US military publicly released footage of its strikes on Iran, while the IRGC accused Washington of violating commitments under a bilateral maritime agreement. Analysts warn the conflict risks spiraling into a wider confrontation unless diplomatic channels are prioritized. Earlier, Iranian sources indicated that the next round of US-Iran negotiations is scheduled from June 28 to 29 in Burgenstock, Switzerland.
