Iran accuses US of violating ceasefire with coastal surveillance attacks

Iran's Foreign Ministry has accused the United States of a "clear violation" of their ceasefire agreement after new U.S. attacks targeted Iranian coastal surveillance facilities. The ministry stated these "brutal attacks" directly contravene the understanding reached to end the war.

These brutal attacks, which were directed at Iranian surveillance facilities on the coast, are a clear violation of the understanding on ending the war.

The U.S. military acknowledged conducting strikes on Iranian coastal radar stations, as well as missile and drone depots. According to American officials, these actions were a response to a Thursday attack on a commercial vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz, an incident they attribute to Iran.

Following the U.S. strikes, Vice President J.D. Vance issued a warning on X, stating, "Violence will be met with violence." He added that Iran had signed a ceasefire agreement which the U.S. had upheld. Vance suggested that if Iran had objections to the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), they should communicate directly.

Violence will be met with violence.

In response to the U.S. actions, Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced Saturday that it had attacked American targets in the Persian Gulf region, according to Iranian state television. This exchange escalates tensions between the two nations amid ongoing regional instability.

Iran has signed a ceasefire agreement. We have upheld it. If they have objections to the way the MoU is being implemented, they can pick up the phone.
