By Eman Abouhassira and Jana Choukeir DUBAI/WASHINGTON, June 27 (Reuters) - Iran said it struck targets linked to U.S. forces on Saturday in response to U.S. airstrikes on its southern coast, as each side continued to accuse the other of violating last week's agreement meant to end the four-month-old war.
