TEHRAN, June 27 — Iran today accused the United States of a “blatant violation” of the peace deal reached between the two sides to end the Middle East war after the latest American strikes on the country.
“These brutal attacks, which targeted Iranian coastal surveillance facilities, are a blatant violation” of the memorandum of understanding to end the war, the Iranian foreign ministry said in a statement.
The US military said its forces struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar locations on Friday in response to an Iranian attack on a cargo ship transiting the strategic Strait of Hormuz. — AFP
The only charitable mitigation I can give Iran for its attack on the Singapore-registered ship is the IRGC may not have properly recovered its command and control infrastructure. IRGC Low level lieutenants and captains are often left to make their own decisions.
