US Expands Military Strikes on Iran After Accusations of MoU Violation

U.S. forces have broadened their strike campaign against Iranian targets after Washington blamed Tehran for violating a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending the Gaza war. The MoU, signed in March by Israel and Hamas, called for an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of foreign fighters and weapons. U.S. officials said Iran’s continued support for Hamas—through the supply of drones and ballistic missiles—constituted a breach that threatened regional stability.

In response, U.S. Central Command announced a series of additional air and cyber operations targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its proxy networks. The strikes focused on missile launch sites, drone production facilities, and command-and-control centers in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. stated that the expanded campaign was intended to deter further Iranian involvement in the conflict and to protect U.S. forces and allies in the region.

The U.S. has reiterated its commitment to enforcing the terms of the Gaza ceasefire while monitoring Iran’s compliance. The broader strike effort signals a shift toward a more aggressive posture against Iranian influence in the Middle East, as Washington seeks to prevent the escalation of hostilities that could spill beyond the immediate theater.
