Why It Matters
The US Central Command conducted strikes on Iranian missile and drone sites after President Trump blamed Iran for an attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said the military struck missile and drone sites, as well as coastal radar locations in Iran, shortly after Trump hinted at retaliation when asked whether Tehran would face consequences.
“We’ll find out,” Trump told reporters. Asked whether he still considered the ceasefire to be in place, he said: “I don’t like the fact that they took a shot yesterday … They shouldn’t be doing that.”
The US president had earlier blamed Iran for the attack, writing on social media that Tehran had “shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz”, with one hitting the upper deck of a cargo ship.
“We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement,” he said.
