Iran vows to defend sovereignty after US strikes on Bandar Abbas

Iran has condemned US strikes on its southern port city of Bandar Abbas, vowing to take all necessary measures to defend national sovereignty. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei slammed the attacks as violations of international norms, following US military strikes that hit a ground control station in the port area.

The Islamic Republic expressed solidarity with Oman after President Donald Trump threatened military action against the Gulf state. Iranian Revolutionary Guards claimed they retaliated by targeting the US air base responsible for the initial attack, though they did not specify the location.

Geopolitical analysts warn that escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf could affect global oil prices, with Nigeria's economy particularly vulnerable given its dependence on oil exports. The situation remains highly volatile with both sides threatening further action.

Will rising tensions in the Persian Gulf affect your business or personal finances, and how might Nigeria position itself diplomatically amid this Middle East crisis?
