On July 26, when asked whether the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps initiated the war, a spokesperson stated that according to the agreement, passage through the Strait of Hormuz should be conducted in accordance with Iranian regulations. However, the United States, as expected, violated the agreement and announced an alternative passage route. Following this breach, the Revolutionary Guard Corps blocked the passage of vessels and struck those violating the rules. It was hoped that the United States would return to fulfilling its commitments, but this did not happen; instead, it attacked our coast, islands, and some radar facilities. Therefore, this new round of aggression once again originated from the United States. The Revolutionary Guard Corps' attacks were intended to force the United States to fulfill its commitments, thus launching Operation Victory 2.

On July 26, local time, US President Trump ordered the US military not to launch new airstrikes against Iran that day, ending nearly two weeks and 13 days of daily strikes. It is understood that Trump had previously approved daily strike plans submitted by the military, but after receiving a new operational plan on the 25th, he did not approve its implementation and instead directly ordered a halt to airstrikes for the day. It is unclear whether this decision is merely a one-day temporary measure or signifies a pause in military operations. Reportedly, hours before Trump ordered the suspension of airstrikes, an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran to negotiate new arrangements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Two regional sources familiar with the negotiations stated that progress had been made, and Oman and Iran are expected to reach an agreement by the end of the week, at which time Trump will decide whether to accept the proposed solution.
