Donald Trump has launched military strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz after the regime violated the ceasefire by attacking US-backed oil tankers.
US Central command announced Friday that it struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations as well as radar sites along the Persian Gulf.
'The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire,' a US official said.
'Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.'
Ian launched an explosive-laden suicide drones at a Singaporean cargo ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. The vessel sustained significant damage to its bridge, though no injuries or deaths have been confirmed.
Prior to the attack, Iran issued warnings through regime media to oil tankers, cautioning that routes through the strait were restricted and that other routes were 'completely dangerous.'
When asked by reporters moments before the attack occurred how the President would respond, Trump replied: 'You'll see.'
The attack comes as the US and Iran delicately negotiate a long-term peace agreement that would limit the regime's nuclear program. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed last week, committed Iran to using its 'best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days.'
