IRGC Navy strikes American targets in region

TEHRAN, June 27 (YPA) – In response to the US act of aggression late on Friday, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy struck American military targets in the region, the Iranian “Tasnim” news agency reported .

In a statement, the IRGC Public Relations said that following the Zionist regime’s ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon, a few hours earlier the US regime that repeatedly breaches its commitments violated its obligations as always and launched an airstrike on the coast of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the pretext that Iran had prevented a ship from passing through the Strait of Hormuz via an unauthorized route.

In response to this aggression, the IRGC Navy struck the terrorist US military deployment points in the region, the statement said.

According to Article 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Tehran and Washington, Iran is responsible for the arrangements for controlling traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, the statement noted, adding that the US has, however, sought to violate this commitment by inciting various parties, which resulted in a necessary response, and this will continue to be the case.

“In the event of a repeat of aggression, our response will be more extensive.”
