US Launches Strikes on Iran After Cargo Ship Attack in Strait of Hormuz
The United States launched airstrikes on Iranian military targets after blaming Tehran for a drone attack on a commercial cargo ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command said it targeted missile and drone storage facilities along with coastal radar sites, calling the operation a response to Iran's violation of the recently agreed ceasefire. Iran condemned the strikes and warned of broader retaliation, raising fears of renewed conflict in the Gulf and fresh risks to global energy supplies.
