Trump says Iran violated ceasefire with drone attacks on Strait of Hormuz ships
Trump said Iran launched four drones at commercial ships, and U.S. forces shot down three as the strike disrupted traffic through the waterway.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump accused Iran of a "foolish violation" of the ceasefire agreement after a drone struck a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. Trump said United States forces shot down three other drones.
- The incident occurred one week into a 60-day negotiation window established by a June 17 memorandum of understanding to reopen the waterway. Success hinges on maintaining the Strait of Hormuz as an open, toll-free passage for global oil traffic.
- IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez paused evacuation efforts for stranded ships following the attack, citing safety concerns. The Singapore-flagged container ship Ever Lovely sustained bridge damage while sailing along the Omani route, according to operator Evergreen Marine Corp.
- Iranian state TV reported that military forces turned back three tankers attempting "unauthorized passage" through the strait on Friday. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi warned that safe passage cannot be guaranteed under arrangements not coordinated with Iran.
- Markets have largely absorbed the incident, with oil prices remaining stable near prewar levels. Analysts warn the attack highlights the fragility of regional peace as Iran and the United States continue to debate future transit terms.
