Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagaei stated that the US military action will further escalate the security crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. He pointed out that this is not the first time the US has committed such a crime, and Iran has responded decisively to every instance of aggression. The continued maritime blockade, economic warfare, and attacks on Iranian infrastructure will inevitably further destabilize the entire region, especially the Strait of Hormuz. He also accused some regional countries of reneging on their commitments and becoming springboards for attacks on Larak Island, and stated that Iran has already struck those targets.

Reuters reported on September 1 that Poland's purchases of defense equipment from domestic companies and Sino-European joint ventures have nearly quadrupled, from approximately 8 billion zlotys in 2022 to 30.4 billion zlotys in 2025. Core defense spending is projected to reach €53 billion in 2026, approximately 4.7% of GDP; the number of active-duty and related military personnel has exceeded 220,000. This indicates that European defense orders are shifting from long-distance imports to domestic production and Sino-European "near-shore production," but the cost is equally significant: large-scale equipment deliveries are pushing up the fiscal deficit, which Poland expects to maintain at 7.1% of GDP in 2027.
