Early Saturday Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they retaliated by targeting "enemy bases in the area" with missiles in response to a US operation in Sirik and Qeshm islands.
After the IRGC claims, CENTCOM in a statement said, "There are currently no reports of harm to US personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging US 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false."
Meanwhile, Iran says that peace talks between US and Tehran have hit an impasse. According to Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the “ball is in Trump's court” and it is for him to take the first step to break the current deadlock.
In an interview to CNN Rezaei also warned that if the United States resumes strikes, it would “enter into a dark corridor."
A formal ceasefire in the war is in place since April 8. A joint airstrike by US and Israel on Tehran on February 8 in which several top Iranian leaders were killed, including its supreme leader Ayahtollah Ali Khamenei ignited the war.
