The United States has conducted strikes against Iranian military facilities, according to the US Central Command. These actions followed accusations by US President Donald Trump that Iran launched at least four drones at vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump characterized the alleged drone attacks, which reportedly damaged one cargo ship and led to three drones being shot down, as a "senseless violation" of a ceasefire agreement. Iran has not commented on these specific allegations. Separately, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi reiterated that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz requires coordination with Tehran, emphasizing its status as a coastal state.
