US strikes Iran after attack on cargo ship

The United States military conducted strikes against Iranian missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar positions after Iran attacked a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz with a drone. The attack violated a recent ceasefire agreement between the two nations, signed on June 17, which was intended to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the critical waterway for 60 days. Iran justified its initial attack by claiming the cargo ship used an unauthorized route, and subsequently retaliated against the US strikes by hitting American-linked targets in the region.
