NEW YORK, July 9. /TASS/. The US Central Command said its forces have completed another series of strikes against Iran, hitting 90 targets.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed an additional round of strikes against Iran, July 8, to further degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civilian mariners in the Strait of Hormuz,” it said on X.

U.S. forces struck approximately 90 Iranian military targets including air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline.

A day before, the United States attacked 80 targets in Iran.

Meanwhile, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened only after Tehran’s conditions are met, not under threats from Washington.

He stressed that the United States’ threats and breaking promises are no longer cost-free. US President Donald Trump has refrained from saying whether a full-scale military conflict with Iran could resume.

I don’t know, he told reporters onboard his plane after the NATO summit in Turkey when asked if the United States was returning to full-scale conflict. However, he noted that in such a case the United States will win it very quickly.

The United States and Israel started a war with Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding envisaging an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

On July 8, Trump accused Tehran of violating bilateral agreements and said that the ceasefire with Iran was no longer in effect.

The Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the United States was not built on trust from the very beginning, but on a clear mechanism of commitment in exchange for commitment, a representative of the Islamic Republic’s embassy in Moscow told TASS.

Iran will resolutely defend its national interests and sovereignty.

The Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the USA was not built on trust from the start, but on a clear mechanism of commitment in exchange for commitment, since there were no signs of goodwill in the actions of the opposite side.

By its unilateral actions, as well as aggressive attacks on Iran, the USA has effectively violated the structure of the agreement, he emphasized, noting that the USA is effectively disavowing the provisions of the fifth clause of the memorandum, which enshrines Iran’s role in determining the safe order for the passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
