Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they have attacked US troops in response to attacks on coastal areas

On June 27, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement in the early morning of the 27th local time, saying that following Israel's violation of the ceasefire agreement in southern Lebanon, a few hours ago, the United States once again violated its commitment and used various excuses to launch air strikes on Iranian coastal areas due to the illegal passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to the aggression, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy attacked U.S. troops stationed in the area. The statement also stated that according to Article 5 of the Iraq-US memorandum of understanding, Iran is responsible for the management of passage in the Strait of Hormuz; but the United States attempts to violate this commitment by inciting all parties, and has received necessary counterattack."It will also be so in the future. If aggression occurs again, our counterattack will be larger than this time." On June 26, local time, the U.S. Central Command issued a statement stating that U.S. Central Command forces had launched a strike on Iran that day in response to the attack on a merchant ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz the day before.
