US President Donald Trump accuses Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement. As the Republican wrote on the Truth Social platform, Iran launched at least four drone strikes against ships in the Strait of Hormuz. One of the drones hit a cargo ship. The freighter was therefore able to continue its journey despite the damage.
The US military shot down the other three drones. “This is obviously a foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement,” Trump wrote. He did not provide any further details as to when exactly the attacks occurred.
An attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz was reported on Thursday. The British Merchant Shipping Safety Authority (UKMTO) said an “unknown projectile” had damaged the ship’s bridge. The incident off the coast of Oman came a few hours after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned that passage was only safe on routes set by Tehran. (sda/dpa)
