US Strikes Iran, Targets Missile and Radar Facilities Along Coast

The United States has struck Iran, targeting missile and radar facilities along the coast, according to US officials. The attacks were in retaliation for an Iranian drone strike on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. The US military hit Iranian targets, including missile and drone storage locations, as well as coastal radar sites, in response to the attack on the Singapore-flagged M/V Ever Lovely cargo ship.

The US Central Command said the strikes were a direct response to Iran's violation of the ceasefire, as described by the president earlier on Friday. The attack on the commercial vessel was carried out by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, which launched a one-way attack drone at the ship along the Omani coast. The US strikes mark the first military action against Iran since the ceasefire was put in place.

The Iranian drone strike on the commercial vessel has posed a challenge to the ceasefire, and the US response has escalated tensions in the region. Iran's IRGC has said it targeted US positions after the American strikes near Hormuz, although no details were given on the targets. The US strikes on Iranian sites have been reported by multiple sources, including The New York Times, CBS News, and NBC News, which all confirm the US military's involvement in the attacks.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is being closely monitored, and the region remains on high alert following the exchange of attacks between the US and Iran.
