Washington holds Tehran responsible for unprovoked aggression and endangering innocent lives

Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of United States Central Command, said Iran has deliberately targeted civilians across the region over the past 7 days by attacking 7 commercial vessels, resulting in the death, disappearance, or injury of nearly 12 civilian crew members.

Cooper stated in an official communiqué that Iranian forces also fired dozens of missiles and drones toward neighbouring Arabian Gulf states.

The Commander of United States Central Command affirmed that US forces hold Iran responsible for this unprovoked aggression, which continues to endanger the lives of innocent people.
