Iran: US Violated Ceasefire
Iran said U.S. strikes on targets near the Strait of Hormuz violated the ceasefire and could complicate efforts to end the war.
- On Tuesday, Iran accused the United States of violating a ceasefire by striking targets near the Strait of Hormuz, with the Iranian Foreign Ministry saying the US committed a "flagrant violation" over the past 48 hours in Hormozgan province.
- The nearly seven-week ceasefire, which had paused fighting in the region, was meant to establish a 60-day framework for restarting movement through the Strait and providing financial relief after a mid-April truce between Israel and Hezbollah failed.
- According to US officials, the military targeted Iranian boats laying mines and missile launch sites; Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone and fired on surveillance and fighter aircraft over the Persian Gulf.
- Tehran warned Iran would respond to any further aggression, with the foreign ministry condemning the strikes and holding "the American regime fully responsible for all consequences arising from these aggressive acts."
- The Strait of Hormuz accounts for nearly 20 percent of global oil and gas supply, yet only limited vessels now transit daily compared to 125 to 140 before the war; Brent crude rose nearly 3 percent to $98.91 on Tuesday following the strikes.
