Washington: US President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating its ceasefire agreement by firing at cargo ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
In a social media post Friday, Trump said “at least four” one-way attack drones targeted ships in the waterway and one of them “solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive” cargo ship. The vessel was “able to proceed,” Trump said, adding that the other three drones were downed.
“Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement,” the president posted, without saying whether the US would retaliate.
The incident is one of the biggest tests yet of the fragile truce with Tehran Trump signed last week. The incident also marks a setback to efforts to restore shipping traffic through the vital energy thoroughfare.
