Iran condemns US strikes as a show of 'bad faith' and warns of consequences
Iran said the strikes violated a fragile ceasefire and warned Washington would bear responsibility as negotiators sought a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Tuesday, Iran's foreign ministry accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire with strikes in Hormozgan province on Monday, citing explosions in Bandar Abbas and reserving Iran's military's "legitimate and definite right to retaliate."
- The ceasefire that began April 7 has remained fragile as competing interests over the Strait of Hormuz—a critical energy shipping lane—have strained negotiations, with Iran effectively closing the waterway since fighting began and stranding hundreds of ships.
- U.S. Central Command has redirected 108 commercial vessels as part of a naval blockade; since April, more than 15,000 U.S. troops have turned around vessels, disabled four, and permitted 26 humanitarian aid vessels through the Strait while defending Monday's strikes as self-defense.
- Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned Tuesday that Gulf powers would no longer shield U.S. military bases, declaring Washington had lost its safe haven as Iran's retaliation threat raised questions about whether negotiations can hold.
- President Trump said negotiations are proceeding nicely while seeking to expand the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, even as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's Monday order to restore internet access after a 90-day blackout reflects Tehran's broader strategic calculations.
