CENTCOM said U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites because Iran hit the Ever Lovely with a one-way attack drone on June 25, 'unwarranted aggression' that it said 'clearly violated the ceasefire'. Explosions were reported around Sirik on Iran's Hormuz coast.
Why it matters
The IRGC said the strikes broke U.S. commitments under the memorandum, which it said gave Tehran control over traffic in the strait, and drones struck Bahrain within hours.
