CENTCOM has said Tehran violated the ceasefire by targeting a Singapore-flagged cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz
The US military has conducted strikes against Iran in response to an attack on a commercial vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, US Central Command has said.
CENTCOM said US forces carried out the strikes on Friday, describing them as a “powerful response” to what it called Iran’s attack the previous day on a commercial ship transiting the strategic waterway.
According to the command, US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar facilities.
Iranian media, citing a military source, reported that warning shots had been fired hours earlier toward what the source described as “violating vessels” in the Strait of Hormuz.
