The US and Iran have accused each other of violating the terms of the ceasefire after the two countries exchanged fire

Days after US President Donald Trump signed a peace agreement with the country, US Central Command (Centcom) declared it had hit multiple targets across Iran.

It said in a statement: ‘Iran was given a chance to honour the ceasefire agreement but elected not to when its forces launched a one-way attack drone that hit MT Kiku [a Panama-flagged tanker].’

Meanwhile, Trump said ‘the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist’ if it doesn’t stop alleged violations of the peace agreement.

Taking to Truth Social, he said: ‘United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!

‘It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started.

Last week, the Strait of Hormuz was ‘closed’ by Iran, with ships needing to seek permission to pass through the contentious waterway.

Iran accused the US of a breach in the ceasefire agreement, citing ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon – the end of which was a requirement of the peace deal made by the two countries.

The US has responded by reportedly having US fighter jets conduct strikes on 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait.

According to the IRGC’s statement, the US attacked five coastal posts in Iran under ‘the pretext of the IRGC Navy confronting the offending ship’.
