After the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a Singapore-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday afternoon, less than 24 hours later there was a US response by sending several of its planes to bomb targets along the southern coast of the Islamic Republic.

The Tehran government overlooked the fact that President Donald Trump a few days ago signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian aimed at ending the war and establishing a ceasefire.

Through a statement issued by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center, it was confirmed that the bridge of the ship in question suffered considerable damage when it was hit by a projectile on its starboard side.

The news caused discomfort in Trump, who accused the Iranians of violating the ceasefire agreement and in retaliation issued instructions for the US armed forces stationed near the Gulf of Oman to deploy an air attack.

Through a statement, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), Pentagon headquarters for the Middle East, announced the objectives achieved during the military offensive.

“US aircraft attacked Iranian missile and drone depots, as well as coastal radar sites, after Iran attacked the M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone.

Iran's dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation at a time when trade increasingly flows through this vital international trade corridor.

The US Army remains present and vigilant to ensure that all aspects of the agreement with Iran are met, obeyed, and are in full force and effect,” part of the letter states.

The British Maritime Trade Operations Agency (UKMTO) announced that the incident occurred 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Dahit, in Oman, and recommended caution to ships navigating those waters.
