The IRGC spokesman, relayed by Tasnim News on Telegram and by @ME_Observer_ on X, calls a July 7 attack a "decisive and crushing response" to America's third breach of promise. He rejects claims that Iran attacked several tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and says the enemy is trying to blame Iran for the breakdown of the Islamabad agreement. Neither post reports independent verification of the July 7 attack or of its location and casualties.
