Summary
Photo: Getty Images Statement from U.S. Central Command Through its official account, U.S. Central Command stated that U.S. forces began the third round of attacks this week against Iran, in response to an alleged attack carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps against the container ship M/V GFS Galaxy, flying the Cypriot flag, while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed "until further notice" and that any foreign interference to open an "illegal route" in the region will receive a strong response, reported Iranian state broadcaster IRIB. The U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 17 to end the war, unblock the Strait of Hormuz, and open negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
Furthermore, Iran's announcement came hours after its Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, accused the U.S. of having "violated paragraph 9 of the memorandum of understanding" between the two parties, with Washington's decision to impose new sanctions on the circle of Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. However, in recent days there have been new cross-attacks in the Middle East. The most recent episode occurred at 7:15 p.m. ET, when U.S. forces began the third military operation in a few days.
In addition, "One civilian crew member is missing and the vessel cannot continue its voyage due to a fire on board and significant damage to the engine room," said forces of the U.S. Central Command. In response, the United States said it seeks to impose a high cost on Iran through operations aimed at degrading its ability to attack civilian sailors and commercial vessels freely navigating the Strait of Hormuz. Iran fires on ship and closes Strait of Hormuz after failed talks with United States.
Moreover, Iran's Revolutionary Guard has confirmed this Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to navigation "until further notice" after firing warning shots at a vessel that allegedly ignored its instructions in the area.
