Iran condemns U.S. attacks, citing ceasefire breach

Iran has condemned U.S. airstrikes targeting its radar installations along the southern coast, denouncing the actions as a breach of a recently established ceasefire agreement. The Iranian Foreign Ministry declared that the attacks reveal the United States' disregard for its commitments, as reported by Reuters.

“

It shows that the USA does not attach the slightest value or credibility to its commitments.

The U.S. military's Central Command (Centcom) confirmed conducting strikes, stating they were a direct response to Iran's continued aggression against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Centcom reported that American military aircraft targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense positions, drone storage sites, and naval mine-laying capabilities.

Centcom forces conducted strikes today (Saturday) as a direct response to Iran's continued aggression against commercial shipping.

Following the U.S. strikes, President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned that the U.S. might be "forced to militarily complete the task" that was "successfully initiated," implying a potential escalation of conflict.

“

There may come a time when we can no longer be reasonable and will be forced to militarily complete the task that we successfully initiated.

Trump further threatened that if such a point is reached, "The Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist." The U.S. and Iran had entered into a ceasefire agreement in mid-June, stipulating negotiations for a final peace accord within 60 days. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) also reported that a tanker was struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz.

If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist.
