Iran has warned that any US attack would trigger strikes on American bases and interests across West Asia, as President Donald Trump weighs military action, sanctions, or a deal with Tehran ahead of the UN General Assembly. Tehran has set seven conditions for resuming talks, including ending the naval blockade and releasing frozen funds, while refusing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The US military has redirected 109 commercial vessels since enforcing the blockade on July 14. The Strait carries a large share of global seaborne energy trade, with Brent crude around $103 a barrel amid shipping disruptions. Iran's parliament speaker urged both military action and diplomacy, while some lawmakers have called for reconsidering NPT membership.
