US Central Command detailed this morning the ‘egregious ceasefire violation’ by Iran last night AFTER US air strikes on an IRGC base that launched five attack drones at the US.
CENTCOM says at just after 10pm eastern, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait, which was promptly intercepted by Kuwaiti forces.
Here’s what they write:
At 10:17 p.m. ET on May 27, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait that was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces. This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz. All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces which also prevented a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas.
U.S. Central Command and regional partners remain vigilant and measured as we continue to defend our forces and interests from unjustified Iranian aggression.
Notice that the statement doesn’t distinguish between the Iranian regime and the IRGC. Since it’s the regime that President Trump is negotiating with, this is an interesting non-distinction.
