President Donald Trump on Friday accused Iran of committing what he called a "foolish violation" of a recently reached ceasefire agreement after Tehran allegedly launched four one-way attack drones at commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most strategically important shipping lanes.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran's military "shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz," claiming that one drone struck the upper deck of a large cargo vessel while three others were intercepted. "One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship. Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way," Trump wrote.
