WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Friday slammed Iran for carrying out a drone attack in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a “foolish” violation of the ceasefire in the Middle East war. “One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship” while three others were shot down, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform in an apparent reference to an attack on a vessel the day before. “Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement,” Trump added.

A ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran went into effect earlier this month and called for an immediate end to military operations from both countries and their allies.

The ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran went into effect earlier this month as the two sides engage in peace talks.

The free flow of commerce was one of the 14 points of understanding that the U.S. and the Iran reached.
