Tension in the Middle East has once again reached dangerous levels. After a drone attack on a merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz, America launched retaliatory air strikes on several Iranian military bases. Iran’s first reaction has come immediately after this action. Iranian MP Ibrahim Azizi launched a scathing attack on America and said that by attacking in the midst of talks, America has proved that it neither cares about talks nor a ceasefire.
‘The failed American President again showed his intentions’
Iranian MP Ibrahim Azizi wrote on social media, ‘America once again attacked Iran during talks. The failed US President has shown that he has no commitment to the principles of dialogue or ceasefire.

Why did America attack?
US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that on June 25, the Singapore-flagged cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely, passing through the Strait of Hormuz near the coast of Oman, was attacked by a unilateral attack drone. According to CENTCOM, in response to this, on June 26, the US Army took military action against Iran and targeted several targets.
Airstrike on missile, drone and radar targets
According to the US Army, in retaliation, apart from Iran’s missile and drone storage centers, air strikes were also carried out on coastal radar bases. CENTCOM claimed that the attack on the commercial ship was completely unjustified and a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement.
