USA and Iran attack each other after pre-peace agreement. There is an agreement between Israel and Lebanon

Several explosions near the Strait of Hormuz, which is at the center of diplomacy. Tehran denounces “flagrant violation” of the agreement protocol. However, there are already details of the agreement between Israel and Lebanon to end Hezbollah.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard reported this Saturday that its naval forces attacked “several points” where the United States Army was “positioned”, in response to Washington’s attack on Iranian installations, after accusing Tehran of violating the pre-agreement.

“In response to the aggression, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy attacked several locations where the American terrorist army was stationed in the region,” said the Iranian military wing, in statements collected by the Iranian public television channel, IRIB.

The Revolutionary Guard assured that the White House violated article five of the agreement reached last week and highlighted that the attacks by the United States “received the necessary response”.

“It will continue to be this way,” they added, if the attacks continue. “If the infraction is repeated, our response will be more forceful.”

Tehran considered that the US attacks against its territory constituted a “flagrant violation” of the agreement protocol to end the war.

EUS attacked in response

This exchange of statements took place hours after United States Central Command (CENTCOM) forces attacked facilities in Iran, in response to the ship hit by a missile last Thursday off the coast of Oman.

Regarding the United States’ response, Iranian media outlets, including the IRNA news agency and IRIB state television, reported that there were several explosions in the port of Sirik, a town in the province of Hormozgão, next to the Strait of Hormuzwhich also houses a military base.

British maritime safety agency UKMTO said on Thursday that a cargo ship was damaged by a projectile of unknown origin in the strait.

Hormuz at the center of talks

The immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil products passed before the war, is included in the memorandum of understanding signed last week by Washington and Tehran, which led to the suspension of hostilities and the opening of peace negotiations.

As a result of the attack on the cargo ship, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) suspended your plan which was being carried out to remove around 11 thousand crew members trapped in the Persian Gulf since the blockade imposed on the Strait of Hormuz, in response to the Israeli-American offensive launched on February 28 against the Islamic Republic. The plan allowed for the withdrawal of 115 ships with around 2,500 crew members from the Persian Gulf since Tuesday, the IMO said on Friday.

Iran, for its part, insisted on Friday that ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz must follow routes established by the Islamic Republic. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), a body created by Iran to manage maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, warned in a statement that “the navigation of vessels outside designated routes is not covered by the Safe Transit Guarantee.”

Under the memorandum, the United States and Iran will continue negotiations with a view to reaching a definitive peace agreement, focusing on the future of the Strait of Hormuz and the Iranian nuclear program, as well as the lifting of sanctions against the Islamic Republic and its frozen assets abroad.

“Pilot zones” for Lebanese army

Dialogue is, however, threatened by the continuation of Israel’s offensive against the Shiite group Hezbollah in Lebanon, a country covered by the truce at Tehran’s demand.

The framework agreement signed in Washington, between Israel, Lebanon and the United States, provides for the gradual transfer of control of two “pilot zones” for the Lebanese army. The zones must expand until state forces control all affected areas, ultimately allowing civilians to return, says the document, signed on Friday.

One of the first two areas is located south and the other north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometers from the border with Israel. The Israeli withdrawal is expected to be limitedas Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that the army will remain in southern Lebanon until the pro-Iran Shiite armed movement Hezbollah is disarmed.

“We are pleased to announce a framework agreement between the sovereign government of Lebanon and the government of Israel, with the mediation and support of the United States,” said the head of US diplomacy.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio added that the agreement lays the foundation for “a framework for lasting peace and security.” The Lebanese President, Joseph Aoun, considered that the framework agreement is “the first step” towards recovering the country’s full sovereignty, without occupation by Israel or guardianship by third parties, in a reference to Iran.

Hezbollah deputy Hassan Fadlallah argued that the agreement risks leading to a “civil war” if it is implemented by the Lebanese authorities.

One of the key points of the agreement is the “verified disarmament of non-state armed groups and the dismantling of their associated infrastructure”, including Hezbollahwho has consistently opposed the negotiations.

After the agreement was announced, supporters of the movement demonstrated on the streets of Beirut, particularly in neighborhoods close to parliament and along a road leading to the airport, and blocked at least one road with burning tires, according to the Lebanese national news agency.

Hostilities on the Lebanese front resumed in early March, after Hezbollah launched attacks against Israel in support of Tehran, which was the target of an Israeli-North American military offensive.

The Israeli army carried out extensive airstrikes in Lebanon and mobilized troops in the south of the country, killing more than 4,200 peopleaccording to Lebanese authorities. It occupies an area approximately ten kilometers deep from its border, intended to protect the inhabitants of northern Israel.

A truce announced on April 17 was never respectedbut clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have decreased considerably since the signing, in mid-June, of a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, in which Tehran demanded that the cessation of fighting in Lebanon be part of the agreement.
