The United States conducted self-defense strikes on missile sites and mine-laying boats in southern Iran, which Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned as a "serious violation" of the ceasefire. These actions have further jeopardized ongoing peace talks aimed at ending the Middle East war and have led to renewed tensions.

  • US Central Command stated its forces conducted the strikes to protect troops from Iranian threats, targeting missile launch sites and boats attempting to emplace mines.
  • Iran's state-run broadcaster IRIB reported explosions near Bandar Abbas, with local authorities investigating the cause.
  • The strikes occurred as Iranian negotiators arrived in Doha for peace talks and Israel increased hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
  • Oil prices fluctuated following the US strikes, raising concerns about potential disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have shot down a US drone and fired at other aircraft that entered its airspace.
