U.S. strikes Iran after ceasefire dispute in Strait of Hormuz
U.S. military strikes on Iran after ceasefire breach in Strait of Hormuz See how the conflict threatens shipping, oil flow, and fragile peace talks
The U.S. military struck Iranian missile and drone sites on Friday after President Donald Trump said Tehran violated a ceasefire by attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command said its aircraft targeted storage locations and coastal radar sites.
The latest exchange followed a drone strike on a Singaporeflagged cargo vessel near Oman, which U.S. officials blamed on Iran. Trump said U.S. forces also intercepted additional drones aimed at ships in the waterway, a key route for global oil trade.
Iran said it responded by hitting U.S.linked targets in the region, and Bahrain later condemned a separate Iranian drone attack. The violence came more than a week after Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a memorandum of understanding intended to support a broader peace deal, with talks still underway.
