Trump blames Iran for Hormuz drone strike as U.S. targets Iranian sites
President Trump accused Iran of a drone strike on the Ever Lovely in the Strait of Hormuz and said the U.S. then carried out strikes on Iranian missile/drone storage locations and coastal radar sites in response; Iran has not claimed responsibility, though U.S. officials suggested Tehran fired on the ship. The incident comes amid ongoing efforts to broker a 60-day memorandum of understanding to ease naval blockades and keep Hormuz open, with tensions affecting escort operations and the wider dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.
