violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!

The military action came hours after a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, representing a significant escalation in tensions despite an interim peace deal signed between the US and Iran just two weeks prior. US President Donald Trump commented on the strikes via Truth Social, stating that Iran had violated the ceasefire agreement again. He issued a stark warning, suggesting that if Iran does not learn, the US may be forced to "militarily complete the job" and that the "Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist."

“

It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!

Iran's Foreign Ministry claimed on Saturday that it had launched "defensive" attacks on US-linked military targets. This followed an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship, reported by Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy's regional headquarters. Both Bahrain and Kuwait announced on Sunday morning that they had defended against Iranian ballistic missiles. A US official told Reuters that there were no reported US casualties, major impacts, or damage to US locations in the region at this time, though the situation was described as still unfolding.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Sunday morning accused "the enemy" of using "tricks" and stated they were untrustworthy. The IRGC warned that any ceasefire violation would result in a more severe response than previous ones, indicating a volatile and unpredictable situation in the region.

“

The enemy is using tricks, and we do not trust it. It may make moves at any stage, even during the negotiations," the statement read. "Our response will be more severe than the last time every time the enemy violates the ceasefire.
