The United States has carried out strikes on Iran in what it says is a response to an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it targeted locations in the region where US forces are deployed in retaliation for the Trump administration’s latest attack.
Iran’s Mehr news agency cites the head of ports at eastern Hormozgan as saying no damage has been caused to the port of Sirik after the US renewed its attacks against Iran, in response to an incident a day earlier when a cargo vessel was struck by an Iranian drone.
The semi-official news outlet said the port was operating normally and no damage was caused to its equipment, despite explosions being reported earlier on its premises.
A senior Iranian MP says US strikes on Iran during the talks exposed Washington’s lack of commitment to diplomacy and ceasefire understandings.
Ebrahim Azizi, the head of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said on X that the US “once again attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations”.
“The failed US president has shown he has no commitment to the principles of negotiation or a ceasefire,” said Azizi.
He said the “reckless violation” of the ceasefire would, “as always, lead to retreat and regret” for the US. “The blame game does not work anymore,” he added.
His remarks came hours after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its naval forces targeted US military positions across the region in response to American strikes on the country’s south.
