The US military has conducted strikes on Iranian targets after Donald Trump accused Iran of a “foolish violation” of its truce following an attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

No casualties were reported when the ship was struck by a one-way attack drone on Thursday, an incident which prompted a planned evacuation of more than 11,000 sailors stuck in the region.

In response, US Central Command said on Friday it had struck missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar positions. There has been no comment yet from Iran.

    If so, i’d expect Iran to publicly distance itself from the attack. According to the article, they still haven’t made any official statement. Does Russia have military presence in the region?
