U.S. Central Command announced June 26 that its forces conducted strikes against Iran in what the military called “a powerful response” to Tehran’s attack on a commercial ship a day earlier in the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. aircraft struck missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites. The strikes came in response to an Iranian drone attack June 25 on the M/V Ever Lovely, a Singapore-flagged cargo ship.
President Donald Trump had called the Iranian attack a clear violation of the ceasefire for peace negotiations. He told reporters to “you'll find out” about retaliatory strikes less than two hours before the U.S. strikes.
Trump said Iran sent at least four attack drones, but U.S. forces knocked down three. The fourth hit the cargo ship, but the ship was able to proceed despite the damage, he said.
