US military strikes Iran— in payback for ‘unwarranted’ drone attack on cargo ship

The US military launched airstrikes against Iranian drone storage facilities and coastal radar sites. These actions were retaliation for a drone attack on the M/V Ever Lovely, a Singapore-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This operation marks the first American strikes on Iran since both nations formally agreed to extend a ceasefire last week. The US military described the initial drone attack on the commercial vessel as unwarranted, prompting the targeted response by US warplanes.
