Iran's parliament speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared that "the era of unilateral agreements has ended" as military escalation gripped the Gulf on Sunday.
The United States launched a third wave of strikes targeting approximately 140 Iranian military sites including radar, missile, and drone installations in southern Iran, according to CENTCOM, which said the action was in retaliation for Iran firing on commercial vessels and closing the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the waterway shut "until further notice" after firing warning shots at a Cypriot-flagged container ship and striking a second vessel. Iran responded with missiles and drones against US bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain.
The violence unravels a June 17 preliminary ceasefire agreement that followed the February 28 outbreak of hostilities. US President Donald Trump declared the truce over, citing alleged Iranian assassination plans, while Iran's UN ambassador warned Tehran would no longer be bound by the accord and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Washington of violating sanctions-relief commitments.
