On June 28, Iran launched missiles and drones targeting U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The attacks followed statements by President Donald Trump threatening to eliminate the Iranian leadership if the interim agreement to end the U.S.–Iran war was not upheld.

Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. You will find out. I don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday... A very expensive ship took a little beating. They shouldn't be doing that.
2. United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!
3. It is very possible that they will never learn.
4. 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!
James David Vance
Republican Party
1. Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone. But violence will be met with violence.
Ro Khanna
1. Trump must stop this war now — or we will take him to court to compel him to do so.
2. These strikes are a blatant violation of the War Powers Resolution that we passed.
US Central Command
1. The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.
2. US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites.
3. U.S. military aircraft targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities.
4. CENTCOM forces launched strikes today in direct response to continued Iranian aggression against commercial shipping.
5. Iran was given a chance to honour the ceasefire agreement but elected not to.
Iranian Revolutionary Guards
1. Let the enemy know that violating the ceasefire … will lead to a complete halt of ongoing processes.
2. The United States, by provoking various fronts, sought to violate this commitment. The necessary response was given and will continue to be given. If the aggression is repeated, our response will be broader than this.
3. America's blind shots at Sirik will not resolve our dominance over the Strait of Hormuz. But our shots at violators will remind the rest of the vessels of the clear passage route.
Abbas Araqchi
Iranian Foreign Ministry
1. We should reach a new framework that includes all countries in the region and without the presence or interference of any country from outside the region.
2. Any interference in this matter, any attempt to establish new or separate arrangements from those currently being carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will only lead to further complications, delay the reopening of the strait of Hormuz, and increase the level of tension.
3. Any new developments will result in exacerbating the situation, and also delaying the opening of the strait. It will also raise the levels of escalation.
Ibrahim AlFiqar
Iranian Revolutionary Guards
1. You targeted sovereignty, so expect a practical response that will change the equations. You miscalculated, and our patience has run out... so prepare for a long, endless night. You have crossed all lines, and our decision is not just talk; the coming hours will speak for our strength.
Resul Serdar Atas
Middle East Eye
1. For Americans, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is quite important for the stability of the global economy. But for Iran, the Strait of Hormuz being under Iranian control is the ultimate deterrence and the biggest leverage.
2. But that is not understanding of Americans. The Americans are saying, 'Well, if it is going through the Omani territorial waters, they do not need to coordinate with the Iranian authorities.'
3. Article Five of the memorandum of understanding, according to the Iranian officials, is clearly saying that any ship, whether it's going through the Iranian territorial water or the Omani territorial water, has to be in full coordination with the Iranian authorities.
