Countries in the region have been warned of potential US preparations to seize or disrupt Iranian commercial ships, according to Al-Miyaddin Network sources monitoring signs of such actions under the pretext of enforcing sanctions. Iranian sources told Al-Miyaddin that any attempt to impede Iranian vessels would provoke a "tough response." The warnings were issued throughout the reporting period ending at 2:37 PM UTC on October 7th, 2025. Al-Miyaddin Network sources further indicated that regional nations have been informed about any potential cooperation with the United States aimed at targeting or preventing the movement of Iranian ships. This warning comes amid ongoing regional tensions, including earlier reports of Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and the potential interception of a drone launched from Yemen, as reported earlier today. Details regarding the specific nature of the alleged US preparations or the exact timing of the warnings to regional countries were not provided by Al-Miyaddin. The Iranian sources did not elaborate on the specifics of the "tough response" they indicated would follow any interference with their ships. Earlier on October 7th, 2025, two individuals were killed and one was injured in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, according to AJENews. Separately, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were reportedly preparing to intercept a drone launched from Yemen by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as indicated by Intellinews around 12:00 PM UTC on the same day.
