US attacks Iranian sites near Hormuz
Shafaq News- Washington (Updated at 1:01)
US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Friday that it had carried out strikes against Iranian military sites in response to a drone attack on a commercial vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The raids targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, as well as coastal radar sites.
CENTCOM also described Iran’s attack on June 26 as an unprovoked act of aggression against commercial shipping, noting that forces continue to coordinate and support the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz and remain deployed to ensure full compliance with and enforcement of the agreement with Iran.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied statements circulating on social media claiming its forces had repelled a US attack on Sirik Island and threatened retaliation, adding that "all official announcements and statements are published exclusively through Sepah News and the force's official media outlets."
Earlier today, US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that Iran had launched at least four one-way attack drones at ships transiting the Strait, calling the incident a "stupid violation" of the ceasefire agreement. Later, when asked by reporters whether Iran would face consequences, Trump replied, "They'll find out."
