US Strikes Iran After Trump Says Ship Attack Broke Ceasefire
The United States launched military strikes against Iran on Friday, responding to a drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier. President Donald Trump said the attack violated the ceasefire between the two countries. US Central Command reported that the military hit missile and drone sites, as well as coastal radar locations inside Iran. The strikes came shortly after Trump hinted at possible retaliation when asked whether Tehran would face consequences. “We’ll find out,” Trump told reporters when asked about the ship attack. He did not provide further details at the time. The cargo ship was hit by a drone on Thursday in the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global oil shipments. No casualties were reported, but the incident raised tensions in the region. The US has not commented on whether further strikes are planned.
