Tehran accuses US of truce breach, claims retaliation in Persian Gulf

May 7, 2026, 22:11 GMT+1Updated: 01:17 GMT+1

Iran’s top military joint command says the US violated the ceasefire by targeting two Iranian oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz and carrying out air attacks on civilian areas along Iran’s southern coast with the cooperation of “some regional countries.”

According to the statement, one tanker was targeted near Jask as it moved toward the Strait of Hormuz, while another was struck near the UAE port of Fujairah.

Tehran also claimed US forces, “with the cooperation of some regional countries,” attacked civilian areas near Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island.
