US strikes Iran after drone attack tests fragile ceasefire in Strait of Hormuz

The United States conducted airstrikes against Iran in response to a drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This action represents a significant challenge to a recent interim agreement between the two nations aimed at de-escalating their conflict and reopening the vital waterway. U.S. Central Command reported that the strikes targeted missile and drone sites, as well as coastal radar facilities in Iran, while Iranian officials characterized the drone attack as "ceasefire management" rather than a violation.
