US defence officials disclosed that on July 7, American forces hit around 80 Iranian military targets, which included wiping out more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) boats.Washington stated that the initial offensive was a direct response to Iran's aggressive maritime strikes on three commercial vessels transiting the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping lane."U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief," CENTCOM declared in its statement on X.The heavy exchange of fire ignited after US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire with Iran was "over". The dramatic collapse of the truce has triggered global alarm, prompting the United Nations, Pakistan, and Qatar to urgently call for restraint as international diplomatic efforts scramble to prevent an all-out regional war.Responding to the onslaught, Tehran renewed its stark warnings to Washington, asserting that any further American military misadventure would invite severe retaliation.Condemning the strikes, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the US administration of clinging to a confrontational foreign policy, arguing that Washington has failed to grasp that "bullying and breaking promises are no longer cost-free.""America still hasn't learned that bullying and breaking promises are no longer cost-free.
