The United States military conducted fresh strikes on Iran, describing them as a response to an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted locations in the region where US forces are deployed in retaliation for the Trump administration’s latest attack.
US Central Command (CENTCOM), responsible for operations in the West Asia region, said it targeted “Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites.”
Although US Vice President JD Vance, who is currently leading the peace negotiations with Iran, said in a post on X that “Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honoured it.
If they have disagreements about how the MoU is being applied, they can pick up the phone," adding, “Violence will be met with violence.”
The IRGC, in its latest statement, condemned the US strikes, saying Washington “has always violated its commitments" and that Iran’s navy will carry out calculated attacks in the region where US forces are stationed.
It warned, “If the US carries out further aggression, our response will be more extensive and precise.”
Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee, said in another post on X that US President Donald Trump “has shown he has no commitment to the principles of negotiation or a ceasefire”, while slamming the US strikes as a “reckless violation of the ceasefire”.
