Iran says U.S. violated peace deal as both sides trade fire
Iran on Saturday accused the U.S. of violating their deal to end the war, after Washington launched strikes on Iranian territory and Tehran responded with attacks on U.S. targets in the Gulf.The trading of fire, which came after Washington accused Tehran of attacking a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, raised doubts about efforts to keep the crucial waterway open while both sides negotiate a final deal.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the latest American strikes, which targeted Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar positions, were a response to “unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces” that “clearly violated the ceasefire”. It described the latest strikes as “a powerful response” to the “attack on a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz”.

Bahrain said it was targeted by several Iranian drones early on Saturday and accused Tehran of “sabotaging peace efforts”.
On the U.S. strikes, Iranian media reported an explosion at a pier in the southern city of Sirik late on Friday. It quoted a military source saying a “projectile impact” caused the blast. “Sirik Port is operating normally,” Mehr news agency later said.
