U.S. aircraft attack Iran in response to drone strike on cargo ship that Tehran called ‘ceasefire management’ as both sides wrestle for Hormuz control

The U.S. launched strikes on Iran following a drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran described as 'ceasefire management.' The attack disrupted an interim agreement to de-escalate tensions and reopen the strategic waterway, with U.S. President Donald Trump claiming the drone strike violated the ceasefire. The International Maritime Organization paused ship evacuations from the strait after the incident.
