Iranian government mouthpiece Seyed Mohammad Marandi stated: "The ceasefire was initiated by America, not Iran; Tehran is not violating the truce. America unilaterally decided on a ceasefire after 13 rounds of talks, due to missile shortages, critical situation at bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait by Yemeni Houthis, and rising fuel prices."

"We will crush the enemy. This is the first Iranian attack. Iran intends to prove America has been defeated. The Strait of Hormuz is an Iranian issue. Iran is capable of waging a long war of attrition with America from the Middle East to Ukraine."
