The U.S. military on Friday struck missile and drone storage sites in retaliation for strikes against a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz that were blamed on Tehran.<\/p>\n

U.S. Central Command also said it hit coastal radar sites after Iran struck the ship, the M\/V Ever Lovely, on Thursday with a one-way attack drone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire,\u201d CENTCOM said. \u201cFurthermore, Iran\u2019s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement echoed President Trump, who earlier called the drone strike a \u201cfoolish\u201d violation of the memorandum of understanding he entered with Iran earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The memo called for an end to the fighting and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz during 60 days of final-stage negotiations over Iran\u2019s nuclear program and other matters.<\/p>\n

Vice President J.D. Vance and Iranian negotiators recently finished the first round of talks in Switzerland, with the Trump administration saying Iran agreed to accept U.N. inspectors at sensitive nuclear sites and to buy American farm products with its unfrozen assets.<\/p>\n

Iranian officials disputed that account, but the turmoil in the Strait of Hormuz is the biggest threat to the ceasefire that both sides entered through a memorandum of understanding earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump said Friday that he was unhappy with Iran\u2019s renewed aggression in the waterway and hinted at retaliation when a reporter asked about potential consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like the fact they took a shot yesterday \u2014 actually four,\u201d Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office. \u201cThey shouldn\u2019t be doing that, so you\u2019ll find out.\u201d<\/p>\n
