BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has fired on U.S. military
positions in Bahrain and Kuwait.
This was announced in the statement released by the IRGC.
"Last night, the U.S. military attacked several non-military
stations and coastal bases on the coast of Hormuzgan province in
southern Iran, in clear violation of the ceasefire and the
Islamabad memorandum of understanding," the statement said.
The IRGC responded to this attack by firing drones and missiles
at 85 important U.S. military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait. At
the same time, a U.S. MQ9 drone that attempted to attack was shot
down.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
A peace memorandum was signed between Iran and the U.S. on June
18. The memorandum was signed by Iranian President Masoud
Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump. The memorandum came
into effect on June 19.
On June 21, the first round of talks between Iran and the U.S.
took place in Switzerland, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar.
