Iran’s armed forces said it has targeted an American airbase after a U.S. attack near Bandar Abbas airport, according to Tasnim news agency.
The IRGC did not say which U.S. base it had targeted but warned of a “more decisive” response and said responsibility for the consequences lay with the “aggressor.”
“The enemy knows that aggression will not go unanswered,” it said.
The exchange of fire adds to the growing uncertainty over whether the US-Iran ceasefire will hold.
Earlier this week, Washington said it had launched “self-defence strikes,” targeting boats that were allegedly laying mines.
Tehran claimed those strikes were a violation of the truce.
Conflicting accounts of possible deal
Iranian state TV reported on Wednesday that an “initial unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding” between the two sides had been drafted.
According to the draft, U.S. military forces would withdraw from the vicinity of Iran and lift the naval blockade on Iranian ports.
Washington later called the claims of the draft deal a “complete fabrication.”
