據Axios：一名美國官員表示，美軍正在對霍爾木茲海峽地區的伊朗軍事目標實施打擊。

伊朗外交部：美國在過去48小時內，以所謂對霍爾木茲海峽幾艘違規過境船隻事件的反應爲藉口，對伊朗發動的襲擊，不僅公然違反了《聯合國憲章》條款，也嚴重違背了《臨時停火協定》第一條和第五條，藉口成爲美國持續不遵守該協定的正當理由。

Ali Akbar Velayati, foreign affairs adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said on July 8 on social media that Iran has warned the region is not a place for political gambling and has repeatedly shown it will respond immediately to any adventurous acts. Velayati blamed other parties for recent tensions, saying they have publicly acknowledged scrapping a memorandum of understanding that had itself been repeatedly breached, pushing the region toward a dangerous edge. U.S. President Trump, speaking in Ankara on July 8, said he believes the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding "has ended," that he will inform U.S. negotiators, and that he does not want to deal with Iran.
