Trump previously said that the memorandum of understanding reached between the United States and Iran "has ended." Iranian media reported that in the early morning of the 8th local time, explosions were heard in many places in the southern part of the country.

The United States subsequently announced a new round of air strikes against Iranian coastal targets and announced the revocation of the recently issued 60-day authorization for Iranian oil production, delivery and sales, in order to make a "severe response" to Iran's recent attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran later pointed out that the U.S.

attacks, the resumption of oil sanctions and other measures seriously violated the Iran-U.S. Memorandum of Understanding, expressing "strong condemnation." (
