The US military has conducted strikes on Iranian targets after President Donald Trump accused Iran of a "foolish violation" of its truce following an attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said it had struck missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar positions on Friday.
It said the strikes were in response for a drone attack on a cargo ship on Thursday, an incident which halted a planned evacuation of thousands of sailors stuck in the region.
Tehran said the cargo ship was attacked because it was using an unauthorised route to transit through the vital Gulf waterway.
Iran carried out retaliatory strikes against US military bases following attacks by Washington, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, the elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) reported.
"In response to the aggression, the IRGC naval forces carried out strikes against the deployment sites of the US military in the region," the Tasnim news agency quoted the military as saying.

The IRGC said its navy had retaliated by striking US military positions in the region, without providing further details.
ReplyDeleteIran said a projectile struck the area around a pier in Sirik in southern Iran, and that Iranian naval forces responded by striking US military targets in the region.
DeleteUS Central Command said aircraft struck missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites, later publishing a grainy black-and-white video of an explosion labeled “unclassified.” A US official reported the operation had concluded.
ReplyDeleteEbrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament's national security commission, though, said on social media that the US had "attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations once again".
ReplyDeleteHe continued in his social media post: "This reckless violation of the ceasefire will, as always, lead to retreat and regret on their part. The blame game does not work anymore."
"В очередной раз Америка атаковала Иран в разгар переговоров", — заявил глава комитета парламента Ирана по нацбезопасности.

Накануне США нанесли удары в зоне Ормузского пролива. Шесть самолетов атаковали четыре цели. Ударам, в частности, подверглись радарные установки и хранилища ракет и беспилотников в Сирике.
По словам Трампа, атака была в ответ на якобы удар Тегерана по коммерческому судну в Ормузском проливе. После этого Иран нанес удары по позициям армии США в регионе.
US Vice President JD Vance writes on X: “Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored 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.”

DeleteThe U.S.-led Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) on Saturday raised the maritime security threat level in the Strait of Hormuz from moderate to substantial.

Estados Unidos pretende "sortear" a Irán en el estrecho de Ormuz a través de Omán.
ReplyDeleteEl plan de Washington parece estar ya en marcha mediante un corredor marítimo temporal abierto por Omán en coordinación con la Organización Marítima Internacional (OMI), agencia especializada de la ONU con sede en Londres. La OMI anunció recientemente un plan para evacuar a 11.000 marineros de los buques que permanecen bloqueados en la zona del Golfo Pérsico.
Naturalmente, Teherán no reconoció ese corredor. El Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica reaccionó con dureza a su establecimiento oficial, afirmando que Irán no había sido consultado sobre la iniciativa y que el tránsito por el estrecho de Ormuz solo está permitido por la ruta aprobada por las autoridades iraníes. Por tanto, se tomarían medidas contra los buques que incumplieran esta norma. Y eso fue exactamente lo que ocurrió con el Ever Lovely. La OMI, por su parte, anunció la suspensión del plan de evacuación.
