The elusive peace and the ubiquitous clashes.
After the peace negotiations between the US and Iran seemed to be hours away from the signing of a successful peace agreement, disagreements ended up pushing it back into tough negotiations.
So, after a skirmish in the Strait of Hormuz a few days ago, today (27), another exchange of fire involved US and Iranian forces.
Three blasts were heard over the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas on the Strait of Hormuz, according to Fars News, as air defenses were ‘activated for a few minutes’.
Reuters reported:
“The U.S. military carried out new strikes overnight in Iran targeting a military site that officials believed posed a threat to U.S. forces and commercial maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. military has also intercepted and shot down multiple Iranian drones that posed a similar threat.
The U.S. military strikes, which have not been previously reported, came during negotiations to end a three-month-old war that has killed thousands and sent global energy prices sharply higher since it began on February 28 with U.S. and Israeli attacks.”
