The United States military has claimed responsibility for airstrikes targeting ten Iranian military sites in and around the Strait of Hormuz. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), the attacks were carried out by American warplanes. CENTCOM also released a black-and-white video on social media, which it said showed footage from several of the strikes.

In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that the United States bombed five coastal areas in its latest assault. The IRGC warned that any hostile aggression would be met with a strong response. It further asserted that, under an interim US-Iran agreement, Tehran is responsible for controlling maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and that stricter measures will now be taken against vessels violating regulations.

The IRGC added that any breach of the ceasefire violates the memorandum of understanding and could completely suspend the ongoing negotiation process, according to the statement cited by Al Jazeera.
