The US military conducted strikes on Friday against Iranian military targets around the Strait of Hormuz in response to Tehran’s Thursday attack against a commercial vessel near the key waterway, according to US Central Command.
“US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites,” CENTCOM said. “The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.”
The strikes came after President Donald Trump on Friday called the drone strike on the ship in the Strait of Hormuz a “foolish violation” of the agreement to end the war with Iran, but offered no indication whether the episode would prompt a return to broader hostilities.
Asked Friday afternoon whether Iran would face any consequences, Trump would only tell reporters in the Oval Office, “You’ll find out.”
The president first responded to the strike Friday morning, hours after it happened.
