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

are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect. Iran vowed to respond, this 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 from state-run Press TV.

Earlier in the day, 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 on Friday afternoon prior to the U.S. response, 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, and it was fine, but it took a little beating. They shouldn't be doing that, so you'll find out.

Chapter 2: What triggered the recent US strikes against Iran?

The clearance eases a confrontation that erupted two weeks ago when the government abruptly barred Anthropic from giving foreign nationals access to Mythos 5 and a related model, Fable 5, over fears that security guardrails could be circumvented. The order prompted the company to disable all global access to the two advanced systems and touched off intensive talks toward a resolution.
