U.S. strikes Iranian targets near strait after Iran fires at ships
The U.S. military has conducted strikes against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. This action marks the first U.S. strikes against Iran since a ceasefire agreement was recently signed. The retaliatory strikes followed an Iranian drone attack on Thursday that targeted several commercial ships. One of the Iranian drones struck a Singapore-flagged cargo ship, the Ever Lovely, as it was leaving the strait. U.S. Central Command described the U.S. attacks as a "powerful response." President Trump called the Iranian attack a "foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement." U.S. military aircraft targeted Iranian missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar facilities. CENTCOM stated its forces remain vigilant to ensure adherence to the agreement. The situation is developing, and attention is focused on whether Iran will retaliate militarily. This is a breaking news report.
