Iran has accused the United States of committing a "gross violation" of the ceasefire that began in April, following US air strikes conducted in southern Iran over the past 48 hours. The US Central Command (Centcom) stated that Iranian missile sites and boats involved in mine-laying activities were targeted in "self-defence strikes" on Monday. Iran's foreign ministry holds the US responsible for the consequences of these actions in the Hormozgan region, which borders the Strait of Hormuz. The impact of these strikes on ongoing peace talks, which have been mediated by Pakistan and recently involved Iranian negotiators in Qatar, remains uncertain. Discussions in Doha have reportedly focused on Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and the situation at the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane. Iran has effectively controlled this lane since the conflict began on February 28.
