America attacked Iran for about an hour on Friday. The US military targeted missile-drone bases and coastal radar sites. President Donald Trump said that Iran broke the ceasefire, hence retaliatory action was taken. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), on June 25, Iran carried out a drone attack on Singapore’s cargo ship MV Ever Lovely in the Strait of Hormuz. Before the airstrike, Trump said, ‘They attacked not once but four times yesterday.’ When asked why the attack was carried out despite talks continuing, he said- Iran is a little different. Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee, said the Strait of Hormuz is under Iran’s control and ships passing through it must follow its rules. He said that this is not a violation of ceasefire, but ceasefire management. Hezbollah said – Israel should leave Lebanon unconditionally. Hezbollah has demanded Israel to withdraw its entire army from Lebanon. Hezbollah Chief Qasim Naim said that Israeli troops will have to vacate every inch of Lebanese land.
