(Central News Agency, Tehran, Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 27th) The US military said it had retaliated against Iranian targets in retaliation for Iran’s renewed attack on ships in the important waterway of the Strait of Hormuz, putting the fragile ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran in jeopardy today. Agence France-Presse reported that the conflict has once again put tension on the negotiation process aimed at ending the war launched by the United States and Israel at the end of February. This also highlights that the world’s most important maritime route for oil and other commodities is still facing risks. The U.S. military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had struck “multiple targets” in Iran and that the operation was in response to an Iranian drone attack on the Panamanian-flagged Kiku. The tanker was carrying about 2 million barrels of crude oil. The US military said the latest wave of counterattacks mainly targeted “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense facilities, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities.” Iranian media reported that several explosions were heard in the Sirik and Qeshm areas of southern Iran. The United States also launched an air strike yesterday, saying it was in response to Iran’s attack on another cargo ship, the Ever Lovely. Iran said today it had also retaliated by hitting U.S. targets in the Persian Gulf. (Compiled by: Chen Yuting) 1150628 supports Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Tehran, comprehensive foreign news report on the 27th) Official data released today showed that Iran, which was already suffering from hyperinflation due to international sanctions, was hit by the war in the Middle East. The inflation rate in June this year has soared to 88.6%, reaching a high point. Agence France-Presse reported that data from the Statistical Center of Iran showed that during the Persian month of Khordad (May 22 to June 21), food prices in Iran more than doubled year-on-year. Among them, the prices of bread and cereals increased by 138.8% year-on-year, the prices of dairy products and eggs increased by 151.9%, and the prices of red meat and poultry soared by 178.2%. By comparison, before the United States and Israel launched war against Iran in February this year, Iran’s annual inflation rate was 68%. In December 2025, when demonstrations were launched across Iran due to high prices, which later evolved into political demands, the inflation rate had increased to 52.6% year-on-year. Iran’s official statistics are released on a monthly basis according to the Persian calendar, which begins in March each year. Affected by international sanctions, Iran’s economy has suffered from long-term hyperinflation and a sharp depreciation of its currency, the rial, for many years. This situation has intensified in recent months, eroding people’s purchasing power and triggering nationwide protests in December. The economic crisis has been further worsened by war in the Middle East. (Compiled by: Cai Jiamin) 1150628 Support the Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency reporter Hou Ziying, Washington, 26th) As the United States and Iran signed an end-of-war memorandum and launched follow-up negotiations, it was reported that a ship was attacked while passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military said today that after Iran attacked the Evergreen Shipping Line’s Evergreen ship with a drone, the U.S. military responded by dispatching military aircraft to attack Iran’s missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar stations. The U.S. Central Command (US Central Command) issued a statement on the Central Command pointed out that after Iran attacked the “Ever Lovely” with a unidirectional attack drone, the US military dispatched military aircraft to attack Iran’s missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar stations. The US military stated that the Singapore-flagged Changli was sailing along the coast of Oman and leaving the Strait of Hormuz when it was attacked by Iran. Central Command pointed out that the Iranian forces’ unreasonable provocations against commercial shipping “clearly violated the ceasefire agreement.” Iran’s dangerous actions undermine freedom of navigation as commerce moves increasingly through this important international trade corridor. Central Command emphasized that it will continue to provide safe passage coordination and support for merchant ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military will maintain deployment and alert to ensure that the agreement reached with Iran is adhered to and fully and effectively implemented. U.S. President Donald Trump also posted on social media earlier that Iran launched at least four drones at ships passing through this important waterway. One of them hit the upper deck of a large cargo ship. Although the ship was damaged, it was still able to continue sailing. The United States shot down the other three drones. He also criticized Iran for “foolishly” violating the ceasefire agreement. Evergreen Marine issued a statement stating that the “Evergreen” owned by Evergreen Marine Singapore Company followed the route recommended by the British Maritime Trade Action Office. While passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the starboard side of the bridge superstructure was hit by an unknown object. After preliminary inspection by the crew, it was found that the eaves and cab windows were damaged, but the people, ship and cargo were all safe, and the ship had left the strait safely. The United States and Iran recently signed a memorandum to end the war in the Middle East, which includes the United States, Iran and their allies in the current war. By signing this memorandum, they announced the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts.
