The U.S. military said it conducted retaliatory airstrikes after a drone attack targeted a cargo vessel a day earlier in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump accused Iran of being behind the attack.
On the Iranian side, state media reported a missile fell near a pier in the city of Sirik, close to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said Qeshm Island was also hit.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it targeted U.S. military deployment sites in the region in retaliation for the latest Trump administration attack.
Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the U.S. strikes, arguing they violate Article 1 of the MoU. The IRGC accused the U.S. of breaching its commitments under the MoU, stressing that the accord grants Tehran control over vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a global energy chokepoint.
Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi, head of parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, posted on social media platform X that the U.S. "once again attacked Iran amid negotiations," suggesting Washington lacks commitment to diplomacy and ceasefire agreements.
On the U.S. side, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities as well as coastal radar stations. Vice President JD Vance warned that "violence will be met with violence."
The U.S. State Department also released details of a framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel, under which Israeli forces would "gradually redeploy from Lebanese territory" as non-state forces like Hezbollah are disarmed. Hezbollah rejected the agreement, calling it solely serving Israeli interests.
The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) expressed "disappointment and concern" over the strikes, urging both sides to use diplomatic channels instead of bombs.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric expressed hope for a "sustainable" opening of the Strait of Hormuz, stressing parties must honor commitments in all agreements.
Al Jazeera's correspondent in Tehran reported that initial discussions included a possible U.S.-Iran hotline to manage tensions, but the IRGC declared no such line exists and would not be established. Tehran views the Strait of Hormuz as its "biggest leverage" in negotiations with the U.S.
