The situation in the Middle East has escalated dramatically after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its navy launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. military positions across the region. This action was taken in response to U.S. bombings in southern Iran on Friday, June 26, 2026, according to a report by the Anadolu Agency.
On Saturday, Ibrahim Azizi, a senior official and Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament, directly criticized the United States, stating that Washington's actions clearly demonstrate to the world a lack of commitment to diplomacy and ceasefire agreements. He emphasized that the U.S. launched a stealth attack on Iran while both sides were still engaged in talks.
