On July 8, US President Donald Trump announced that the cease-fire reached with Iran on the night of June 18 was no longer valid. The US military has carried out several series of attacks on Iran since July 8. The Central Command of the US Armed Forces claimed that this was allegedly done in response to Iran’s actions against commercial vessels that crossed the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran responded with strikes on US bases in several Middle Eastern countries, closed the Strait of Hormuz, and also accused Washington of violating the memorandum on cessation of hostilities.
