After an Iranian drone strike on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, the US military launched retaliatory airstrikes Friday against Iranian missile and radar sites, according to Reuters. President Donald Trump accused Tehran of violating a fragile ceasefire agreed just last week. Vice President JD Vance, responding to the US operation, stated on social media that aggression would be answered with aggression, referencing Iran’s signed memorandum of understanding. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps blamed the US for breaking commitments and warned of a broader response if attacked again, as reported by the BBC. The strikes, which a US official said had concluded, further escalate tensions between the two nations over control of the strategic waterway and implementation of their recent agreement.
