Iran accuses US of ceasefire breach, vows retaliation over attack on ship
Iran’s top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya, accuses the US of violating the ceasefire in their war by firing at one of Iran’s commercial ships in the Gulf of Oman, and vows to retaliate.
State media quotes a Khatam al-Anbiya spokesperson as saying that the vessel was en route from China to Iran.
“We warn that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon respond and retaliate against this armed piracy by the US military,” the spokesperson says.
