Iran warns 'people should stay away from US bases'

• Tehran suspended its commitments to the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, citing retaliation for US strikes on Iranian targets, while the US maintains it has only targeted military sites and accuses Iran of attacking civilian vessels and neighboring countries.
• The US Central Command reported that American forces remain fully operational despite the attacks, with President Trump threatening further strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure if negotiations do not proceed.
• Iranian officials warned of escalating to full-scale offensive operations if US strikes continue, while regional countries like Jordan and Kuwait reported intercepting missiles and damage to infrastructure, emphasizing efforts to protect sovereignty and restore services.
• Analysts and regime-affiliated voices differ on the nature of the conflict, with some accusing Iran of expanding terrorism and attacking civilian infrastructure, while Iranian figures warn of broader regional escalation if US attacks persist.
