US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of launching at least four drones at vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump claimed one drone struck the upper deck of a cargo ship, causing damage, while three others were shot down. He characterized the event as a "senseless violation" of a ceasefire agreement. Iran has not yet commented on these specific allegations. This incident follows earlier statements from Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, who warned that "safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz cannot be guaranteed" without Tehran's coordination and recognition of its status as a coastal state.
