US strikes Iran LIVE updates: Following the US' fresh strikes against IRGC and Iran, the Iranian foreign ministry has accused Washington of violating the truce. The ministry added that Tehran will also respond and continue to “defend” itself from such attacks. As peace negotiations continue, Tehran has demanded the release of $24 billion in frozen funds.
