U.S. Central Command says in a post on X the U.S. military conducted strikes against Iran late Friday.
as a powerful response to yesterday's attack on a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM says U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites, and that the U.S. military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed and in full force and effect.
Iran vowed to respond, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency, citing a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Our naval and air forces successfully repelled the attack, the IRGC claimed in the statement. The Guard Corps also said it had targeted U.S. military positions in the region, this reported by state-run Press TV.
Earlier, President Trump accused Iran of violating their ceasefire agreement by firing at cargo ships transiting the strait, underscoring how unsettled the situation remains in a waterway critical to global energy flows. In the Oval Office Friday afternoon prior to the U.S. attack on Iran, the president was asked by a reporter if the U.S. would retaliate.
I don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday, actually four, we knocked down three, at a ship. Not an Allied ship, but a ship, a very expensive ship. It was fine, but it took a little beating.
