President Donald Trump is accusing Iran of violating a ceasefire agreement after he said the country launched four attack drones at ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump said three of the drones were shot down, while a fourth struck a cargo ship.

“One of the drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive cargo-carrying ship. Damage was done, but the ship was able to proceed on its way,” Trump said.

The incident prompted the International Maritime Organization to pause a planned evacuation for ships in the waterway.
