CENTCOM claimed the attacks targeted Iranian air defense systems, command networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities and more than 60 IRGC small boats in and near the Strait of Hormuz.The US presented the strikes as “retaliation” for alleged Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the strait.But CENTCOM’s own wording — “offensive strikes” — confirms a direct escalation and yet another clear breach of the ceasefire by the US.Once again, the US is ignoring the agreed-upon US-Iran memorandum and escalating its aggression against Iran.
