The United States launched military strikes on Iranian missile depots, drone facilities, and coastal radar installations after a commercial vessel was hit while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to CENTCOM. President Donald Trump accused Tehran of violating a ceasefire agreement by deploying one-way attack drones against ships in the strategic waterway, saying three were intercepted while one damaged a cargo vessel. Vice President JD Vance warned that any further aggression would be met with force, emphasizing that disputes over the memorandum of understanding should be resolved diplomatically. The incident has heightened regional tensions and renewed concerns over maritime security, global trade routes, and energy markets in one of the world’s most vital shipping corridors.
