The U.S. conducted a strike against Iran on Friday in response to an attack on a commercial ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the most significant test yet of the deal to end hostilities that President Donald Trump signed last week.
U.S. Central Command said Friday that American aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites, along with coastal radar sites.
On Thursday, Iran attacked a Singaporean cargo ship that was exiting the strait along the Omani coast with a one-way drone attack, Central Command said. Trump earlier Friday called Iran’s attack on the ship a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire.
The attacks jeopardize a temporary peace framework that the Trump administration has trumpeted as an effective means for lasting peace in the region and the end of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Negotiations have been ongoing, and the president and his administration have issued several public statements claiming Iran has agreed to keep the strait open and allow for an inspections regime of its nuclear program.
The U.S. strikes were in keeping with other recent airstrikes on Iranian targets, and appeared calculated to keep any new flare-up in fighting to a minimum. American aircraft have hit similar targets several times over the past several weeks, and each time U.S. officials have characterized them as “defensive” in nature.
