US-Iran war news LIVE: Vessels at the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, June 26, 2026.
US-Iran war news LIVE: The United States and Iran traded military strikes on Friday as Washington accused Tehran of attacking a cargo ship, jeopardizing a fragile ceasefire. US Central Command said the American strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar positions were a response to “unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces” that “clearly violated the ceasefire.” It described the operation as “a powerful response to yesterday’s attack on a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”
Iranian state television said an explosion was heard late Friday at Taherouyeh pier in the southern port city. It quoted an informed military source as saying the blast was caused by a projectile impact in the area.
Minutes later, on Saturday morning Iran time, Iran’s state television reported that the Revolutionary Guards said they targeted US sites in the Gulf region in retaliation for the American strikes.
“If the aggression is repeated, our response will be broader than this,” the Guards said, according to a post by state TV on Telegram.
US President Donald Trump had earlier denounced what he described as an Iranian drone strike on the vessel, saying: “Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement.”
Vice President JD Vance issued a direct warning, posting on X that “violence will be met with violence” if Iran carries out any further attacks.
