⚓ President Trump says Iran violated the ceasefire at sea: President Trump wrote on Truth Social that Iran launched at least four one-way attack drones at ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Trump, one drone “solidly hit” the upper deck of a “large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship.” The vessel sustained damage but was able to continue its voyage.
Trump added that U.S. forces shot down the other three drones.
He wrote: “Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement.”
Notably, Trump did not indicate what response, if any, would follow. The absence of any warning or threat was unusual compared to his previous public statements following similar incidents.

According to the report, ships may in the future be required to pay transit fees, reflecting preparations to potentially comply with Iranian demands that tolls, taxes, or other fees be paid to transit the strategic waterway.
