US strikes Iranian targets after drone attack on a commercial vessel
The U.S. military struck targets in Iran Friday in response to an Iranian drone attack on a commercial vessel, U.S. Central Command said.
CENTCOM says U.S. aircraft targeted Iranian radar and munitions storage sites, striking locations where missiles and drones had been stockpiled.
The action was a response to an incident Thursday, in which Iranian one-way drones struck a cargo vessel sailing under the flag of Singapore in the Strait of Hormuz.
“The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire. Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor,” CENTCOM said in its statement.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
