Iran Accuses US Of Striking During Negotiations, Warns Of 'Retreat And Regret'

Iran's National Security Commission chief Ebrahim Azizi on Saturday accused the United States of attacking Iran while negotiations were underway, describing the strikes as a violation of the ceasefire and warning that Washington's actions would ultimately lead to "retreat and regret". Azizi, who heads the Iranian Parliament's National Security Commission and is a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), criticised US President Donald Trump, alleging that the American administration had failed to uphold the principles of negotiation. His remarks came after the United States carried out strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, as well as coastal radar sites, in response to Iran's attack on a commercial vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Azizi Accuses US of Breaching Ceasefire In a post on X, Azizi said the United States had launched its attack while diplomatic negotiations were still in progress. "The U.S. attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations once again. The failed U.S. President has shown he does not commit to the principles of negotiation or a ceasefire," he wrote. "This reckless violation of the ceasefire will, as always, lead to retreat and regret on their part. The blame game does not work anymore," Azizi added. His statement came hours after the IRGC announced that it had targeted US military positions across the region in response to American strikes on southern Iran.

CENTCOM said the vessel was sailing along Oman's coast while exiting the Strait of Hormuz when it was targeted. JD Vance Warns Iran Against Further Escalation Following the US strikes, Vice President JD Vance warned Tehran that any further attacks would draw a military response while urging Iran to resolve disagreements through dialogue. "Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honoured it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone. But violence will be met with violence," Vance wrote on X. His comments underscored Washington's position that disputes over the ceasefire should be addressed through diplomatic channels rather than military action.

IPL 2027: Five Players CSK Could Release Before New Season

Chennai Super Kings endured another disappointing IPL campaign in 2026, missing out on the playoffs for the third straight season. The five-time champions finished eighth on the points table, with injuries to key players and an unsettled playing XI affecting their performance throughout the tournament. As the franchise prepares for IPL 2027, a squad reshuffle could be on the cards. While no official announcements have been made, several players could be at risk of being released based on their performances and opportunities last season. Prashant Veer Left-arm bowling all-rounder Prashant Veer was signed for ₹14.2 crore but struggled to justify the investment. He had limited opportunities with the ball and found it difficult to make an impact when called upon. With the bat, he managed 90 runs during the season. CSK may look to move in a different direction if they decide to revamp their all-round options. Khaleel Ahmed Khaleel Ahmed's campaign was cut short by injury after featuring in just five matches. The left-arm pacer picked up only two wickets before being sidelined. If Chennai opts to rebuild its pace attack ahead of IPL 2027, Khaleel could be among the players under consideration for release. Matthew Short Australian all-rounder Matthew Short joined CSK for ₹1.50 crore in the 2026 mini-auction but failed to make a significant impression. His performances with both bat and ball fell short of expectations, leaving his future with the franchise uncertain. Rahul Chahar Rahul Chahar arrived at CSK with high expectations after being bought for ₹5.2 crore. However, the leg-spinner featured in only one match throughout the season, as Noor Ahmad and Akeal Hosein were preferred in the playing XI. With limited game time, Chahar could find himself on the release list if CSK chooses to restructure its spin department. Shreyas Gopal Signed for ₹30 lakh, leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal did not get a single opportunity to play during IPL 2026. Given the lack of opportunities and stiff competition for places, his future with the franchise remains uncertain heading into the next season.

Breaking: US-Iran Tensions Escalate Again as Both Sides Trade Strikes Despite Ceasefire Talks

Tensions between the United States and Iran have flared up once again despite recent peace talks and ceasefire negotiations held in Switzerland. Fresh military action has reignited concerns over stability in the Middle East after the US launched strikes on targets in southern Iran, prompting a retaliatory response from Iranian forces. According to Iranian media reports, the US carried out strikes in the Sirik region, targeting missile and drone facilities. The US military claimed the operation was conducted in response to an alleged Iranian drone attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump confirmed that four drones targeted the ship, stating that three were intercepted by US forces while one caused limited damage. Iran, however, accused the US of violating the ceasefire agreement and claimed Washington was using the Hormuz incident as a pretext to target Iranian naval assets. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that any further US military action would be met with an even stronger response. Iranian officials also declared that maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz would now be subject to routes designated by Iran, warning that ships deviating from those routes could not be guaranteed safe passage. The exchange of accusations has further strained relations between the two countries. Senior Iranian lawmaker Ibrahim Azizi alleged that the US attacks during ongoing negotiations proved Washington was not serious about diplomacy and had violated the ceasefire understanding. Meanwhile, President Trump reiterated his administration's hardline stance on Iran's nuclear ambitions, saying the United States would never allow Iran to become a nuclear-armed nation. Trump also defended the killing of former Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, describing it as one of the most significant actions of the past century and claiming that several senior Iranian leaders had privately welcomed Soleimani's death because they feared his influence.

The strikes targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities as well as coastal radar installations, marking a significant escalation despite a ceasefire agreement reached earlier this month. Washington said the action was a direct response to what it described as an attack by Tehran on the Singapore-flagged cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely on June 25. US Says Military Action Was Response To Shipping Attack According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the operation was intended as a "powerful response" to what it called an unprovoked assault on commercial shipping. American officials alleged that Iran used a one-way attack drone to strike the cargo vessel while it was sailing close to the Omani coast. CENTCOM argued that the incident breached the ceasefire agreement negotiated earlier this month and warned that attacks on civilian shipping threaten freedom of navigation through one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes. https://t.co/CckXLJSpah pic.twitter.com/NoMQ7cNtN5 — U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) June 27, 2026 ALSO READ: US, Iran Trade Fire After Tehran Attacks Cargo Ship In Strait Of Hormuz, Raising Fresh Concern Over Ceasefire The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping lane, with nearly one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas exports passing through its waters each day.
