U.S. strikes Iran after Trump accuses Tehran of ceasefire violation

Key Points:

• The U.S. military conducted strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage sites along with coastal radar locations following drone attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which President Donald Trump accused Iran of initiating in violation of a ceasefire.
• An Iranian one-way attack drone hit the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Ever Lovely near Oman, though the vessel was able to continue through the strategically important oil shipping route.
• U.S. Central Command condemned Iran's actions as unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping and a threat to freedom of navigation in a vital international trade corridor.
• The drone attack occurred shortly after Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at a permanent peace deal, with ongoing talks including Vice President JD Vance's recent trip to Switzerland.
• Trump stated that U.S. forces intercepted three of four Iranian drones targeting ships, calling the attack a foolish violation of the ceasefire agreement.
