HOT MOMENTS: The U.S. Has Once Again Launched an Attack on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating the recently reached ceasefire agreement. Trump alleged that the Tehran regime was using one-way attack drones against commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical maritime trade routes.

In a statement on his Truth Social account, Trump claimed that the Iranian military launched “at least four one-way attack drones” at ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Trump, one of the drones hit the upper deck of a large cargo ship, while the other three were intercepted.

In his post, Trump stated, “One of the drones struck directly onto the upper deck of a large and very expensive cargo ship. Damage occurred, but the ship was able to continue its journey.” The US President described the incident as a “stupid violation” of the ceasefire agreement.

According to Axios, citing a US official, the US military launched attacks in the Strait of Hormuz region following the incident. The report stated that the operation was carried out after Iran’s attack on a commercial vessel.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) also confirmed in a statement that the US military had carried out strikes against Iran. According to the statement, US aircraft targeted Iranian missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar systems.
