The United States military carried out strikes against Iran on Friday after US President Donald Trump accused Tehran of launching drone attacks on ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement, US Central Command said American aircraft hit Iranian missile and drone storage locations as well as coastal radar sites in response to Iran striking the M/V Ever Lovely ship with a one-way attack drone.
"The Singapore-flagged cargo ship was exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast at the time of Iran’s attack," CENTCOM said, adding that Iranian forces had "clearly violated" the ceasefire agreement.
