Trump Orders Military Action as Iran, US Exchange Accusations Amid Rising Regional Crisis
The fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran came under renewed strain after the US launched fresh military strikes targeting key Iranian military infrastructure. The operation, which reportedly lasted nearly an hour, hit missile facilities, drone installations, and coastal radar systems across strategic locations in Iran.
US President Donald Trump said the military action was carried out in response to what Washington described as Iran's violation of the ceasefire agreement, further intensifying tensions across the Middle East.
According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM) Iranian forces launched a drone attack on the Singapore-flagged cargo vessel MV Ever Lovely in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz on June 25. The incident has raised fresh concerns over maritime security in one of the world's most important energy corridors.

Iran's state-run news agency IRNA reported that Tehran views recent US actions as a direct breach of ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Iranian parliamentarian Ebrahim Azizi criticized Washington, stating that the latest strikes took place while negotiations were still underway, accusing the US of undermining diplomatic progress.
