Iran accuses US of breaching ceasefire by its aggressiveness, says new strikes launched

Tehran, May 8 (UNI) Iran has accused the US of breaching the ceasefire between the two countries today, rejecting the Pentagon and White House's version of a violent clash Thursday in the Strait of Hormuz, and said fresh strikes had been launched on Friday.
In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the regime "strongly condemns the aggressive action by the terrorist US military against two oil tankers belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran" in the Strait of Hormuz, "as well as attacks carried out on several locations in coastal areas overlooking the Strait of Hormuz, which took place in the late hours of Thursday night, May 7, and the early hours of Friday morning."
According to the US military, Iran attacked at least three American warships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday with missiles, drones and small assault boats, while the Pentagon said that all the threats were destroyed, claiming it had launched retaliatory strikes against Iranian ports, as part of a "self-defence" response.
