Svmuu News: U.S. Central Command stated that on June 26, U.S. forces carried out strikes against Iran in response to the previous day’s attack on a merchant ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz. On June 25, Iran used a one-way attack drone to strike the cargo ship “Ever Lovely.” U.S. warplanes subsequently struck Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, as well as coastal radar stations.
U.S. Central Command stated that the Iranian military’s actions against the merchant ship violated the ceasefire agreement and undermined freedom of navigation. U.S. Central Command forces will continue to coordinate and provide support for the safe passage of merchant ships transiting the Strait, while maintaining a presence and vigilance to ensure that agreements reached with Iran are observed and enforced.
