According to the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, on June 28 local time, the Naval Command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement stating that the US's 'blind firing' of ships in the Sirak area cannot change Iran's control over the Hormuz Strait. 'Our actions against violators will remind other vessels to navigate along the clearly defined channels.'
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy Command also stated in its statement that US military bases in the Middle East will experience a "hellish" situation in these days.
On the same day, the Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement saying that in the early hours of that day, the naval and air forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used missiles and drones to destroy eight important military facilities of the U.S. Fifth Fleet located at Al-Ali Salim Air Base in Kuwait and in Bahrain. This was a decisive response to the recent aggressive actions by the United States.
This declaration also states that in the future, it will treat vessels violating regulations with even stronger measures than before.

On June 27 local time, the U.S. Central Command posted a statement on social media, stating that the U.S. Navy and Air Force fighter jets attacked 10 Iranian military targets in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding areas in response to Iran's drone attacks on merchant ships.
U.S. President Trump posted a statement on social media that day, claiming that American aircraft had just struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar stations, because they had once again violated the ceasefire agreement. "Perhaps one day, we will no longer be able to exercise restraint and will be forced to use military means to carry out operations that we have already started. If that day comes, Iran will no longer exist!"
