President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

"Following the aggression of the U.S. military against a telecommunications tower on Sirik Island, located in Hormozgan Province, an hour ago, IRGC Aerospace Force fighters targeted the air base from which the aggression originated, and the predicted targets were destroyed," the IRGC said in a statement carried by the semi-official Fars News Agency.

"If the aggression is repeated, the response will be completely different, and the responsibility lies with the aggressor and child-killing American regime," the IRGC said.

Trump yet to announce decision following Situation Room meeting

After meeting with his team in the Situation Room for about two hours on Friday to make a "final determination" about a deal with Iran, President Donald Trump has yet to announce a decision.

Following the meeting, a White House official said in a statement, "President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his redlines. Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon."

It is not clear why the president still has not announced a decision.

Trump admin sanctions Iranian agency controlling strait

The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned the Persian Gulf Strait Authority - the entity created by Iran to manage and charge for passage through Strait of Hormuz.

Prior to this move, the Treasury Department had already warned that providing payment to the PGSA for passage through the strait could open the payer up to sanctions risks, and that firms that facilitate financing could be subject to secondary sanctions. The move to formalize the sanctions is a potential sign the administration could seek to step up enforcement of the penalties.
