Iran hardliners blamed for sinking U.S. truce– • A rogue group of Iranian hardliners secretly attacked three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz on July 6–7, derailing a June truce agreement with the U.S., according to The New York Times, citing Iranian and IRGC officials. • The attacks reportedly enraged President Masoud Pezeshkian, who demanded answers from IRGC leadership and was told the strikes had not been authorized. Iranian officials allegedly later told Washington that rogue operators were responsible. • An Iranian investigation reportedly blamed cleric Hossein Taeb, a powerful opponent of the U.S. deal, for orchestrating the attack.
