Iran has suspended its commitments under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the US following a series of airstrikes that killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 500. The decision, announced by Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, comes after US Central Command (CENTCOM) targeted Iranian military logistics infrastructure, surveillance sites, and underground weapons storage facilities. In the latest escalation, Gharibabadi condemned a US strike on the Darquoin power plant's under-construction facilities as a "dangerous assault on Iran's peaceful infrastructure," holding the US government fully responsible for the consequences of heightened insecurity and instability. Iran has warned it will take appropriate measures to defend its national interests and security.

Gharibabadi stated that the US had violated and suspended all its commitments within the framework of the Islamabad MoU, prompting Iran to halt its implementation. "We have also suspended our commitments, we are not implementing them, and we are busy defending the country," Gharibabadi told the semi-official Fars News Agency. The strikes, which took place on Friday night, also fully enforced a naval blockade against Iranian ports.

Impact of US Strikes

The Iranian Health Ministry reported that US attacks since July 6 have resulted in significant casualties and infrastructure damage. The national water company indicated that approximately 10,000 people are without water following the overnight attacks.

Critical infrastructure was hit, including a seawater pumping station and a power transformer at the Bunji desalination plant in southern Iran, which Tasnim News Agency reported were "completely destroyed." The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that countries hosting US forces should prepare for a proportionate response. The strike on the Darquoin power plant's under-construction facilities further widened the scope of damage to civilian and energy infrastructure.

Kuwait Oil Site Attacked

Separately, the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) announced that one of its vital oil sector sites was repeatedly attacked, resulting in significant material damage and some injuries. Satellite imagery captured smoke billowing near an oil facility in Mangaf, Kuwait. Kuwait's military confirmed it detected and intercepted hostile ballistic missiles and drones within its airspace.

New Strikes and Escalating Rhetoric

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said that repeated US violations of the Iran-US memorandum of understanding proved President Donald Trump's signature "utterly worthless and devoid of credibility." He warned the "resistance front" had "unforgettable lessons" in store for Washington. In a post on X, US Central Command said, "Today at 6 p.m. ET, US forces began launching new airstrikes against Iran at the Commander in Chief's direction. The strikes are designed to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American service members in Jordan last night."

Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks killed two US service members in Jordan on Friday. One service member remains missing, and four others were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. Early Saturday, Iran attacked US allies Kuwait and Bahrain, hitting a Kuwaiti desalination plant and Bahrain's Sheikh Isa Air Base, hours after CENTCOM completed a seventh straight night of strikes on Iranian sites. Iran's condemnation of the Darquoin power plant strike and its pledge to defend national interests signal a continued deepening of the conflict, raising concerns over broader regional stability.

Jordanian air-defense systems intercepted and downed three Iranian missiles on Sunday, a development that came amid ongoing Iranian strikes in the country, including an attack on Friday that killed two American service members. A fourth missile fell in a remote area of the country, Jordan’s state-run Petra news agency reported, citing a military source. The Iranian attacks caused no casualties or infrastructure damage, it said. The widening strikes reflect a conflict expanding across military, economic and regional fronts, with analysts warning the risk of miscalculation between the U.S. and Iran is deepening absent a credible offramp from either side.

Earlier on Sunday, the U.S. Embassy in Amman said the airport and seaport at the Red Sea city of Aqaba had been evacuated due to a "specific and credible threat." Jordanian authorities then denied that an evacuation had happened and said operations continued as normal, the state-run Petra reported. The U.S. military targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces that launched attacks against American service members in Jordan on Friday. U.S. Central Command said its forces hit Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, maritime capabilities, and missile and drone storage sites.

Regional Reactions And Warnings

Iranian drones targeted U.S. military assets and equipment at Kuwait’s Al-Adiri camp and Ali Al Salem Air Base, Iran’s state TV reported Sunday, citing a statement from the army. Bahrain sounded warning sirens on Sunday before saying it had intercepted a wave of Iranian aerial attacks. Kuwait said Iran hit a power and water plant on Sunday, causing a fire. It was the third attack in as many days on a power and water facility in Kuwait, according to authorities. The Kuwait Petroleum Corp. said a day earlier that Iran attacked one of the country’s "vital sites" in the oil sector.

Perpetual futures linked to crude oil jumped on Hyperliquid amid fears of near-term escalation in the conflict. West Texas Intermediate rose to $83.70, with 24-hour volume hitting $102 million. Brent futures climbed to $88.30. The Arab League urged both nations to take immediate steps to de-escalate tensions, warning that the "situation risks spiralling out of control into greater mutual destruction." In separate statements on Saturday night, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar expressed concern over the latest escalation.

Analyst Perspectives

Tit-for-tat attacks between Washington and Tehran have intensified, with both militaries targeting infrastructure. "The greatest challenge now is no longer military pressure, it’s escalation management," Danny Citrinowicz, a senior researcher at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies, wrote on X. "It is becoming increasingly clear that events are beginning to slip beyond anyone’s control."

"Iran’s military response to the U.S. campaign over the past two days has escalated both in intensity and in the range of targets," Hamidreza Azizi, Visiting Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, wrote on X. "The conflict has now become a contest against time and a war of endurance." Tehran announced that it would no longer adhere to the terms of the interim peace deal. Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said Saturday that repeated U.S. violations of the Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding proved President Donald Trump’s signature "utterly worthless and devoid of credibility."
