The U.S. carried out airstrikes against Iran’s drone supply Friday, according to U.S. Central Command, launching them after Iran struck a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz with drones Thursday in an attack President Donald Trump called a “foolish violation” of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement.

U.S. aircraft bombed Iranian missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar sites, Central Command said in a statement, calling Iran’s strike against a Singapore-flagged cargo ship “unwarranted aggression.”
Nobody aboard the cargo ship was killed or injured in the drone strike.
