Tehran celebrations erupt as Iranian air defences activate amid Hormuz counter-attacks and explosions. Crowds gathered across western Tehran after reports claimed Iranian missile forces forced enemy units to retreat from the Strait of Hormuz following attacks on Iranian vessels. Air defence systems were activated east of the capital while explosions rocked Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island, where drones were reportedly intercepted and shot down. Iranian officials accused the United States of violating a ceasefire and targeting Iranian tankers near strategic Gulf waters. The dramatic scenes of street celebrations, missile retaliation, and heightened military alerts have intensified fears of a dangerous regional escalation across the Persian Gulf.#Iran #Tehran #Hormuz #StraitOfHormuz #BandarAbbas #Qeshm #IranAirDefence #MiddleEast #USIran #PersianGulf #BreakingNews #DroneAttack #GulfCrisis #TehranProtests #IranMissiles

‘Won’t Bow Our Heads’: Iran Leader Rejects Trump's Surrender Ultimatum Amid Hormuz Clash

Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran wants “nothing” from the United States. Speaking in Tehran during a surprise visit to the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, Pezeshkian insisted Iran seeks only its legal rights under international law despite escalating tensions with Washington. The Iranian president accused foreign powers of trying to divide the country through pressure and unrest but praised national unity for resisting the “enemy’s plans.” His remarks came amid reports that Washington and Tehran are close to reaching a one-page understanding to end the conflict. #Iran #Pezeshkian #Tehran #USIran #MiddleEast #IranNews #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #Ceasefire #Washington #IranPresident #GulfCrisis #InternationalLaw #WorldNews
