The truce in Iran lasted about ten days, and yesterday the joint raids between Washington and Tehran resumed.

US forces attacked a dozen Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, in response to yesterday morning's Iranian attack on a commercial oil tanker.

And Donald Trump warned: "US warplanes have just struck Iranian warehouses and coastal radar sites, once again violating the ceasefire agreement. There may come a time when we will be forced to militarily complete the work we have started. If that were to happen, Iran would cease to exist!"

Iran responded again overnight by striking US targets in Bahrain and Kuwait, in raids that the IRGC claimed were retaliation for US attacks on its territory.

"The vicious US attacks on Iranian facilities on the country's southern coast, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday, demonstrated that this regime attaches no value or credibility to its commitments and that violating agreements is part of its nature," the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The attacks violate the United Nations Charter and the memorandum of understanding recently signed between the two countries, the ministry said, cited by IRNA, emphasizing that "Iran is determined to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity against US military aggression."
