The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said it carried out strikes against Iran in retaliation for an Iranian drone strike against a Singapore-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
"US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Iran hit M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone. The Singapore-flagged cargo ship was exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast at the time of Iran’s attack," CENTCOM said in a statement published via social media. CENTCOM described the ship attack as "dangerous behavior" that threatens shipping in the Strait, while vowing to continue its efforts to protect maritime traffic in the vital waterway.
Shortly before the announcement, Iran's state media said a blast was heard in Sirik in the Hormozgan Province in southern Iran.
