US strikes Iran in retaliation for Strait of Hormuz cargo ship attack

CENTCOM said the strikes hit missile, drone and radar sites after Iran attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship and no injuries were reported.

  • American warplanes bombed targets along Iran's southern coast on Friday after President Donald Trump accused Tehran of violating the Ceasefire Agreement by launching drones at commercial ships in the Strait.
  • The Ceasefire Agreement, signed last week, stipulates that the Strait of Hormuz—through which 20% of global oil passes—will reopen for 60 days of safe commercial passage.
  • Iranian forces fired four drones at commercial ships in the Strait on Thursday, hitting the Singapore-flagged Ever Lovely, while Central Command intercepted three others.
  • Following the attack, the United Nations maritime agency paused its mission to guide more than 11,000 stranded ships through the Strait, which had kicked off two days prior.
