The United States conducted strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump claimed that the Islamic Republic had violated the ceasefire on Friday.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that American forces put forth a “powerful response” after Iran struck a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. aircraft struck “Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites,” according to CENTCOM. (RELATED: Trump Claims Iran Broke Ceasefire Agreement) 

This comes after Iran is suspected of having struck a Singapore-flagged cargo ship with a one-way attack drone in the strait on Thursday.

“The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire,” a statement from CENTCOM reads. “Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.”

“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.”

Just hours before the strike, Trump claimed Iran violated the ceasefire in a Truth Social post, calling it a “foolish” violation.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz. One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship,” Trump said. “Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way. We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement.”

When asked in the Oval Office just prior to the Friday strikes if Iran would face consequences, Trump said, “You’re gonna find out.”

This comes just days after Iran and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding, advancing peace negotiations. It has now been 118 days since the war with Iran first started on February 28.
