US strikes Iran in retaliation for Strait of Hormuz cargo ship attack
- On Friday, U.S. Central Command directed strikes against Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, describing the operation as a 'powerful response' to Tehran's drone attack on a commercial vessel the previous day.
- President Donald Trump declared the June 25 drone attack on the Singapore-flagged M/V Ever Lovely a 'foolish violation' of the ceasefire agreement signed on June 17, while Iran denied the breach, characterizing it as 'ceasefire management.'
- Iranian state media claimed retaliatory strikes, warning their response would be 'swift and decisive, at the time and place we choose,' while CENTCOM reported the strikes targeted storage sites to uphold freedom of navigation.
- The International Maritime Organization halted evacuation operations for stranded vessels on Friday until guarantees are provided against further attacks, though shipping data shows traffic remains operational with a significantly slowed normalization pace.
- Both the U.S. and Iran now weigh maintaining the ceasefire against risking further retaliatory strikes, as the 60-day diplomatic window for a final peace deal faces severe strain from the military exchange.
