Reasons for the US surprise airstrike on Iran.

SKĐS - The US has launched airstrikes against Iran for the first time since the two sides reached a preliminary peace agreement on June 17.

According to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), U.S. fighter jets struck multiple targets in Iran on June 26, including missile launch sites, drone storage facilities, and radar stations. Washington said this was in response to a drone attack on the Singapore -flagged cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely as it transited the Strait of Hormuz the previous day.

In a statement posted on social media platform X, CENTCOM accused Iranian forces of violating the ceasefire agreement by targeting a commercial shipping vessel. "The unprovoked aggression against a commercial shipping vessel by Iranian forces clearly violates the ceasefire agreement," CENTCOM stated.

On the Iranian side, state media reported multiple explosions on Sirik Island, in Hormozgan province in southern Iran. State television station IRIB, citing sources, said two flying objects struck a telecommunications tower near the area.

The latest developments have made the prospects for maintaining peace between the US and Iran even more fragile. The timing of the incident is also particularly sensitive, as the two countries are still discussing the implementation of a previously signed memorandum.
