#  The US military attacked Iran yesterday in response to an Iranian drone strike on a cargo ​ship in the Strait of Hormuz, with each country accusing the other of violating terms of a ceasefire agreed on last week. US Central Command said aircraft struck missile and drone ‌storage locations and coastal radar sites. Iran said a projectile struck the area around a pier in Sirik in southern Iran, and Iranian naval forces responded by striking US military targets in the region. Tehran did not provide details about what may have been hit.
