Iran accuses US of ‘gross violation’ of ceasefire with new air strikes

Iran has condemned fresh American air strikes in the country’s south as a “gross violation” of the ceasefire agreement, warning the attacks threaten already fragile negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.

The strikes, carried out by the United States Central Command near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, reportedly targeted missile sites and boats accused of laying naval mines.

Iran’s foreign ministry said Washington would bear responsibility for the consequences of its “aggressive and unjustified actions” in Hormozgan province, while declaring that “the Islamic Republic of Iran will not leave any evil unanswered.”



Iranian state media also reported explosions near Bandar Abbas and claimed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had shot down a US drone and engaged an American fighter jet.

The latest escalation comes as mediators from Pakistan and Qatar continue efforts to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route carrying around a fifth of the world’s oil supply.

  1. Iran has now restored full international internet access so it now looks like Iran are no longer worried about any more terrorism from the USA or UK or Israel https://en.ypagency.net/394241

    Ongoing news about any continued American terrorism via such air strikes are (a) clearly intended for western audiences who struggle to dissect reality from propaganda, and (b) no doubt a future claim against American terrorists in war crimes tribunals.
