"The Iranian military spokesman's vow of 'decisive retaliation' and claim of strategic advantage is a direct rhetorical response to the US Centcom report (Event 2) detailing the disabling of Iranian ships and the redirection of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, which constitutes the 'recent aggression' mentioned in the new event."
