Iran, U.S. exchange strikes, renewing tensions in Strait of Hormuz

TEHRAN, June 27– Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Saturday its naval forces had struck U.S. military positions in West Asia in response to recent U.S. airstrikes on southern Iran.

In a statement published on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said the United States had carried out attacks on Iran’s southern coastal areas under the pretext of an incident involving a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
