[Hot News Recap: US Warns of Middle East Travel Risks, Iran Insists on Conditions for Strait of Hormuz Closure] 1. The US State Department issued a statement on the X platform Saturday night, urging Americans outside the Middle East to seriously reconsider their travel plans to or through the region, and warning of a potential rapid escalation of military conflict with Iran. The statement also reminded Americans in the Middle East to be vigilant and aware of flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions. 2. Iran stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until its conditions are met, demanding an end to the naval blockade, the easing of sanctions, and the release of frozen assets. Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf said on Sunday that this crucial shipping route between Iran and Oman will not open until all of Iran's conditions are met. Former Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Zulghader, previously stated that reopening the strait requires Washington to lift the blockade and sanctions, withdraw US troops from the region, pay war reparations, and unfreeze Iranian assets; the council also demanded a halt to attacks on Iran's regional allies and threats against Iran. 3. The Houthi rebels claimed on Saturday that they had attacked "sensitive" targets in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, with missiles and drones. Hours earlier, flames and smoke were seen near the city's main airport, but local authorities did not explain the cause. Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he had been in "continuous communication" with the Houthis after the attack and that the group had agreed not to attack the United States. He also said he was in "decision mode" regarding war with Iran and would decide "whether to destroy their country" based on Iran's performance. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for confirmation. 4. The US embassy in the Middle East issued a security alert to US citizens due to tensions and the risk of potential escalation. In recent weeks, the Houthi rebels have attacked Saudi Arabia and launched a ground offensive near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the entrance to the Red Sea, seizing Moha and nearby islands. The Trump administration last week approved a potential sale of nearly 50 F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia for $24.3 billion, seen as significant support for the country. 5. Iranian armed forces warned neighboring countries on social media that an alliance with the United States would provoke retaliation from Tehran; reports indicate that the Iranian government has been informed that the US is preparing to resume military action against Iran. Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Rezaei said on Saturday that consultations with mediators from Qatar and Pakistan are ongoing, and Iran has conveyed its conditions for a ceasefire to the United States: ending the war on all fronts, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and lifting the naval blockade. He stated that he is awaiting a response from Trump.
