The United States and Iran have once again launched military attacks\nagainst one another. The concept of \u2018peace\u2019 is now a mere memory, as\nboth nations have returned to hostilities following a previous peace\nagreement.<\/p>\n
On Friday (26\/6), Washington accused Tehran of violating the\nceasefire by attacking a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormelse. This\nlatest development threatens the initial peace agreement, which\nestablished a ceasefire in the Middle East region while further\nnegotiations were being conducted to end the conflict permanently.<\/p>\n
US Central Command (CENTCOM), as reported by AFP on Saturday\n(27\/6\/2026), stated that the US strikes were a response to unprovoked\naggression by Iranian forces against commercial services, which clearly\nviolated the ceasefire. CENTCOM announced that US forces targeted\nIranian missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar\npositions.<\/p>\n
\u201cA firm response to yesterday\u2019s attack on a commercial vessel\ntransiting the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d CENTCOM asserted in its statement.<\/p>\n
Iranian state television, quoting one of its reporters in Sirik,\nreported that an explosion was heard at midnight on Friday (26\/6) at the\nTaherouyeh pier in the southern part of the port city. A local military\nsource stated that the explosion was caused by a projectile hitting the\narea.<\/p>\n
US Attacks, Iran Warns of Regret<\/strong><\/p>\n A senior Iranian lawmaker has warned the United States that the\nlatest attacks on Tehran, occurring amidst ongoing negotiations to end\nthe conflict, will lead to setbacks and regret. Washington has been\naccused of violating the principles of negotiation by attacking\nIran.<\/p>\n Ibrahim Azizi, Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy\nCommittee in the Iranian parliament, as reported by Anadolu Agency on\nSaturday (27\/6\/2026), stated that the recent US attacks on Iran have\nrevealed Washington\u2019s lack of commitment to diplomacy and the ceasefire\nagreement.<\/p>\n Azizi\u2019s warning came after Iran and the US resumed mutual attacks\nover the weekend, with Washington accusing Tehran of breaching the\nceasefire by attacking a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n Iran has not explicitly denied or confirmed involvement in the\nattack. However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had\npreviously warned that vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz without\nTehran\u2019s permission \u201cwould be dealt with.<\/p>\n In his statement on Saturday (2\/7\/2026), Azizi stated that the US has\n\u201conce again attacked Iran in the midst of negotiations.\u201d He subsequently\nreferred to US President Donald Trump as a \u201cfailed\u201d president.<\/p>\n \u201cThat failed US President has shown that he has no commitment to the\nprinciples of negotiation or the ceasefire,\u201d said Azizi.<\/p>\n \u201cThis reckless violation of the ceasefire will, as usual, lead to\nsetbacks and regret for them,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n US on Attacks: Violence Met with Violence<\/strong><\/p>\n US Vice President JD Vance issued a stern warning to Iran as both\nnations engaged in mutual attacks over the weekend. Vance openly warned\nthat Tehran would face \u201cviolence\u201d if further attacks are launched.<\/p>\n \u201cIran has signed a ceasefire agreement. We have adhered to it. If\nthey have disagreements regarding the implementation of the MoU\n(Memorandum of Understanding), they can contact us,\u201d Vance said in a\nstatement via the social media platform X, as reported by AFP on\nSaturday (27\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n The US Vice President referred to the MoU intended to halt the war\nthat has been raging for the past four months, which was signed by the\nUS and Iran on 17 June.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, violence will be met with violence,\u201d Vance asserted in his\nstatement.<\/p>",
