A Singapore-flagged ship was struck crossing the waterway on Thursday, prompting a large-scale evacuation to be paused.
A Singapore-flagged ship was struck crossing the waterway on Thursday, prompting a large-scale evacuation to be paused. Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran carried out a drone strike on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, damaging the ship's upper deck. US President Donald Trump condemned alleged Iranian drone attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, calling them a "foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement." Iran's IRGC Navy asserted control over transit routes, warning vessels to follow Tehran's directives.
The International Maritime Organization earlier paused efforts to evacuate ships and seafarers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz after a cargo vessel was struck. The development comes during a fragile time for the U.S. and Iran as they work to negotiate a permanent end to the war.
Bloomberg reported the story as "Oman Says Ships May Pay, Iran Violates Ceasefire Says Pres." The Independent reported the story as "Trump calls Iran drone strike a ‘foolish violation’ of ceasefire agreement after attack in Strait of Hormuz." Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the story as "Trump blames Iran for a drone strike on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz."
