A week after the collapse of the truce, and following yet another night of mutual attacks, Iran has definitively declared the agreement reached with the United States in Islamabad null and void and is threatening a full-scale offensive in response to American strikes against bridges, power plants, and other infrastructure. Meanwhile, two American soldiers were killed in a Tehran attack in Jordan, bringing the death toll to 16 in an increasingly complicated war.
After Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi declared that "Iran has broken its commitments under the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding," Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a statement. In a written statement, Iran's highest authority accused the United States of "bullying and barbarism" and branded Donald Trump's signature on the Islamabad agreement as "worthless."
"The Great Satan's repeated violations of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the presidents of Iran and the United States have once again demonstrated to everyone how futile the signature of the US president is , and that bullying, hegemonic ambitions, and barbarism are inseparable elements of the American way and doctrine," Khamenei thundered, threatening to teach Washington "unforgettable lessons." "The Great Satan," he continued, "has once again revealed its true face without a mask, so that this dark experience of crime and disloyalty remains as another powerful testimony to America's deceitfulness, irrationality, unreliability, and wickedness."
Meanwhile, attacks from both sides continued for the seventh consecutive night. Iran targeted Washington's allies in the Gulf, particularly Kuwait and Jordan. Two American soldiers were killed, one is still missing , and four others were wounded but have already been released from the hospital, according to US Central Command, which declined to reveal the names of the fallen out of respect for their families. This brings the total number of military deaths to 16 in a conflict in which Trump has become bogged down and whose outcome is increasingly uncertain.
Kuwait also came under sustained attack, forcing the country's international airport to suspend operations due to missile and drone threats . Also in Kuwait, the IRGC claimed to have struck a U.S. military support center at Camp Arifjan and destroyed a radar facility at Ali Al Salem Air Base.
Subsequently, the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation announced that one of its oil facilities had been hit during "repeated Iranian attacks," causing extensive damage and several injuries. The Iranian military also claimed to have launched a drone attack on a U.S. base in Bahrain.
According to Iranian media, the United States simultaneously used several missiles to strike electrical infrastructure and desalination pumps located on the pier in the village of Bunji, near the city of Jask in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan, and areas near Sirik, also in the same province located along the Strait of Hormuz. At least twenty villages were left without drinking water . According to Iranian state television, these attacks killed three people and injured eight others. Two bridges and a road tunnel were also damaged in the operation.
