Summary Each of warring sides has accused the other of violating ceasefire agreement

(Web Desk) – US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Iran that it would "no longer exist" if the United States is "forced" to resume the war.

The threat came after US forces said they struck "multiple" Iranian targets Saturday in another tit-for-tat response to attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

"United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

In Iran, state broadcaster IRIB said early Sunday local time that explosions were heard in Sirik in southern Iran, without providing further details.

Earlier, The US military said it has struck Iran again, hours after a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, in the worst escalation since the two sides signed an interim peace deal two weeks ago.

Each of the warring sides has accused the other of violating the agreement reached two weeks ago to end the four-month-old conflict.

"There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!" US President Donald Trump posted on social media on Saturday.

US Central Command said on Saturday its forces carried out fresh strikes after a Panama-flagged tanker was attacked by an Iranian drone early on Saturday.

IRGC NAVY WARNS REGIONAL BASES WILL 'FACE HELL'

The naval command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said US “blind strikes” on Sirik do not resolve what it described as Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.

"America's blind strikes on Sirik will not undermine our control over the Strait. But our strikes against violators serve as a reminder to other vessels of the proper route for safe passage," it posted on X.

"As for US bases in the region, that is a separate matter. They will experience hell in the days ahead."
