In an exclusive interview with Tasnim, Spokesperson for the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps General Hossein Mohebbi explained the sequence of events that led to the latest military confrontation.
"Under the (Islamabad) memorandum of understanding, it was agreed that navigation in the Strait of Hormuz would take place in accordance with the arrangements announced by Iran. However, as expected, the United States violated its commitment and announced a different channel for transit through the Strait," he said.
"Following this breach of commitments, the IRGC prevented the passage of vessels and struck the violating ship. It was expected that the US would return to compliance with its commitments, but it did not. Instead, it attacked our coasts, islands, and some of our radar sites. Therefore, the new act of aggression was once again initiated by the US," the spokesman explained.
"The IRGC's attacks were intended to bring the US back into compliance with its commitments, and Operation Nasr-2 was launched with this objective," General Mohebbi stated.
