US military strikes Iranian ports, official says not a resumption of war

The U.S. military conducted strikes on Iran's Qeshm and Bandar Abbas ports on May 7, according to a senior U.S. official cited by Fox News. The official added that the action does not signify a resumption of war or an end to the current ceasefire agreement. The strike on the Iranian oil ports comes two days after Iran launched 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the UAE's Fujairah port. A senior Pentagon official had previously described Iran's attack on May 5 as a low-intensity action that did not constitute a violation of the ceasefire.
