After the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced the end of the ceasefire on Friday (10), in a unilateral decision, the country carried out 140 attacks on military targets in Iran on Saturday night (11), especially in the south of the country. The information was released by the United States Department of War on its X account and passed on by Al Jazeera.
In response, Iran retaliated against Gulf countries that have US bases on their territory. Among the targets are air bases in Jordan, Qatar, a naval base in Oman and self-destructive drones hit military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The information was released by the Iranian state agency He.
Furthermore, this Sunday morning (12), the Iranian Revolutionary Guard once again announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of all world production passes, until the US ends its attacks in the region.
Also this Sunday morning (12) – Tehran’s time zone is eight hours ahead of Brasília’s – the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, published a message on X justifying the new attacks as a response to the United States’ lack of compliance with the agreement. “The era of unilateral agreements is over. We warn you: keep your word or pay the price,” he wrote.
The text is accompanied by an image that reads an excerpt from the agreement between Iran and the United States that deals with the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. “The Islamic Republic of Iran will take necessary measures to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels, without charging fees, for a period of 60 days.”
This Sunday afternoon at Tehran time and 9 am Brasília time, the US Department of War made a post on the X announcing that the Strait is open to the transit of ships and declared that the maritime area through which ships pass is international waters.
