Overview
- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced it targeted U.S. military positions in the region and framed the action as retaliation for reported American airstrikes on Iranian coastal areas.
- Ibrahim al‑Fiqar, a senior Iranian military spokesperson, posted that Iran's response would be 'unprecedented' and accused the United States and Israel of breaching a ceasefire agreement.
- Ebrahim Azizi, a member of Iran's parliament, said the U.S. attacked 'in the middle of negotiations' and accused Washington of failing to honor ceasefire commitments.
- U.S. officials, including Vice President JD Vance, publicly denied violating the ceasefire, urged Iran to use diplomatic channels, and warned that further violence will be met with force.
- Reporting so far relies on official Iranian statements and social posts and lacks independent, on‑the‑ground verification, which leaves the exchange tense and increases the risk that local actions could prompt broader regional escalation.
