U.S. Strikes on Iranian Port Cities During Active Ceasefire (May 2026)

U.S. strikes on civilian port cities (Qeshm, Bandar Abbas, Bandar Kargan) during an active ceasefire killed at least one sailor, injured ten, and Iran says hit civilian residential zones. A massive oil spill (71 sq km, ~80,000 barrels) from Kharg Island was confirmed by Copernicus satellite imagery. Iran declared the ceasefire violated and said the U.S. had 'crossed the point of no return.'
