Trump slams Iran's 'foolish violation' of ceasefire agreement

The war began in late February, but has been in a nominal state of ceasefire for months, albeit with intermittent flare-ups of live-fire between nearly every combatant.

President Donald Trump on Friday condemned Iran's recent drone attacks on ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Iran targeted a ship moving through the waterway this week, after previously warning vessels that it would do so. Tehran has repeatedly condemned what it calls violations of the ceasefire by Israel through continued fighting in Lebanon.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz," Trump posted on Truth Social. "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. We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement."
