"Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor."CENTCOM forces continue to provide safe passage coordination and support to commercial vessels transiting the strait," CENTCOM added. "The US military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect."The strikes come after US President Donald Trump hinted at an American response to Iran's attack, saying "you’ll find out" when asked if there would be consequences for Tehran.This is a developing story.Follow us on Google
