The United States has launched military strikes on Iranian missile, drone, and radar facilities after a Singapore-flagged cargo ship was hit by a drone near Oman in the Strait of Hormuz.
Washington has hit back. The US launched fresh military strikes against Iran after a commercial cargo ship was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first direct American military action since a recent truce between the two countries.
According to The Hill, citing US Central Command, American forces targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities as well as coastal radar sites linked to threats against commercial shipping. The strikes came after a Singapore-flagged cargo vessel was struck by a drone near Oman an attack Washington squarely blamed on Tehran.
No casualties were reported, but officials said the operation was designed to protect freedom of navigation and deter further strikes on commercial vessels in one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.
