A truce is in the air between Iran and the . The American armed forces launched yesterday Thursday attacks on the port of Bandar Abbas and the island of Qeshm.
However, according to , a senior US official argued that the incident does not signal the resumption of war or the collapse of the truce. Analysts believe that this is retaliation for Iran’s strikes in the previous days.
speaking later to the ABC, pointed out that the strikes did not mean the end of the truce.
“We will neutralize them harder if they don’t sign”
After the strikes from the USA came the reaction of . Iranian media reported that the Revolutionary Guards navy fired missiles at three US destroyers near the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for the US attack on an Iranian oil tanker.
This news was confirmed by Donald Trump. The American president emphasized that there was indeed an attack on the American ships without, however, suffering any damage. Following his post, he attacked Tehran demanding that it immediately sign the agreement.
“Three world-class US destroyers have just successfully sailed through the Strait of Hormuz while under fire. No damage was done to the three destroyers, but the Iranian attackers were badly damaged. They were completely destroyed together with numerous small vessels, which are used to replace their navy, which has been completely decapitated. These vessels sank to the bottom of the sea, quickly and efficiently.
Missiles were fired at our destroyers and were easily shot down. Likewise, drones came and were destroyed in flight. They fell so beautifully into the ocean, like butterflies falling into their grave! A normal country would have allowed these destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal country.
They are led by CRAZIES, and if they had the chance to use a nuclear weapon, they would, no doubt about it — But they will never have that chance, and just as we defeated them again today, we will defeat them much harder and much more violently in the future if they do not sign their Agreement, FAST! Our three destroyers, with their splendid crews, will now rejoin our naval blockade, which is truly a “wall of steel” states in his post.
Iran implicates the UAE
Iran’s military command accused the US military on Thursday night of violating the ceasefire. Specifically, that they launched an attack against ships near the Strait of Hormuz.
The US armed forces, “violating the ceasefire, targeted an Iranian oil tanker departing from the Iranian coast (…) as well as another ship,” the Khatam al-Anbiya command of the Iranian armed forces said, according to IRIB.
He also accused the US of carrying out strikes in southern Iran, “in collaboration with other countries in the region”. The Iranian armed forces “immediately retaliated”, attacking “American warships” which they “succeeded in causing heavy damage”, the same source claimed.
In another cable, FARS spoke of exchanges of fire by Iranian armed forces with an unspecified “enemy”, adding that the port area on Qeshm Island was among the areas hit.
Iranian media made the assumption that it might be an action by the UAE. We remind you that earlier both the Emirates and Kuwait.
The Tasnim news agency, believed to be close to the Revolutionary Guards—Iran’s ideological army—noted that if this information “is confirmed, the Emirates will pay the price for their hostile action.”
