According to CNN, US Vice President Vance may travel to Pakistan this weekend for talks with Iran. This comes after an Iranian military source stated that Iran is continuously monitoring and understanding the movements and changes on its enemy's front lines. If the enemy attempts ground operations on Iranian islands or other territories, or increases Iran's defense costs through maritime activities in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, Iran will respond by opening additional fronts. The source said the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is one of the world's most important strategic straits, and Iran has both the will and the capability to threaten it. He stated that if the US attempts to find a solution to the Strait of Hormuz issue through "foolish actions," it should be wary of allowing another strait to become its new predicament. The source also emphasized that Iran is fully prepared for further escalation of the situation. (Jin Shi)
