The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed in a post on X that it struck targets in Iran in response to a drone attack on a merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. The post stated that "American aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar sites." It further stated: "The unjustified aggression by Iranian forces against commercial shipping constituted a clear violation of the ceasefire. Moreover, Iran's dangerous behavior has undermined freedom of navigation, as trade flows increasingly through this vital international trade corridor."
