On the night of June 27, the US army launched military strikes against targets in Iran in response to the alleged violation of the ceasefire by the republic. All the details are in the Izvestia article.

What has the United States accused Iran of?

On June 26, US President Donald Trump announced that Iran had violated the ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the American leader, the Islamic Republic fired at least four drones at ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, and one of the drones hit the upper deck of a cargo ship. The vessel was damaged, but was able to continue sailing. At the same time, three more devices were eliminated.

"Obviously, this is a reckless violation of our ceasefire agreement," Trump said after the incident.

On the same day, in the Oval Office of the White House, Trump once again condemned Iran for violating the truce. At the same time, the politician did not specify whether the United States would give any response to Iran's actions.

"You'll find out everything," he repeated.

Attacks on Iran

On the night of June 27, the Central Command of the American army announced attacks on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz. After the statement, the Press TV channel broadcast information about the sounds of explosions over the Iranian coastal city of Sirik amid renewed attacks on the republic.

The Iranian State Television and Radio company IRIB notified at the same time that two shells hit a TV tower in the area of Syria. Details, including possible casualties and damage on the ground, were not provided.

"Two shells hit a telecommunications tower in the area of Sirik," they said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, amid the escalation, issued a statement on an early and decisive response to the latest US strike.

"The response will be swift and decisive, at our chosen time and place," the IRGC said.

The reaction in the USA

U.S. Vice President Jay Dee Vance said at the same time that the United States would respond to the Islamic Republic with "violence against violence." He noted that Iran has signed a cease-fire agreement, and the United States is abiding by it.

"Violence will be retaliated against," he wrote on his page on the social network X.
