News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Matt Piper. The U.S. military says it struck Iran in retaliation to an attack on a commercial cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, an incident that further set back efforts to fully reopen the crucial waterway. U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites as well as coastal radar installations, says Central Command.
The attacks came a day after the Singapore-flat container ship Ever Lovely sustained damage from what President Trump said was a one-way Iranian attack drone.
trump had earlier in the day accused iran of violating its ceasefire agreement by firing at cargo ships bloomberg's joe matthew with what trump had posted on truth social the islamic republic of iran shot at least four one-way attack drones at ships traversing the strait of hormuz one of the drones he says solidly hit the upper deck of a very large and very expensive cargo carrying ship damage was done

Chapter 2: What recent military actions did the U.S. take against Iran?
The Dow dipped 0.1% and the Nasdaq fell 0.2%. Oman has told European officials that there's no way of going back to the pre-war status quo with the Strait, and transiting ships may have to be charged some fees. Ships are reviewing their exit plans after Thursday's attack. More on that from Bloomberg's David Gura.
A lot of companies a little skittish. wondering sort of if there could be more attacks like this, if there could still be mines in that waterway. And our colleagues at Bloomberg did report some ship owners reviewed their exit plans. But it does look like traffic in the Strait really hasn't taken a hit.
It is still flowing, but it does highlight the tenuous nature of this reopening under that 60-day period.
Israel and Lebanon have signed a framework agreement after four days of negotiations in Washington mediated by the Trump administration. Secretary of State Rubio says it is the first step toward peace following the ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah.

President Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on goods imported from countries that impose digital services taxes.
