Trump reported an attack by Iranian drones on ships in the Strait of Hormuz
Despite the ceasefire and agreements with Washington, the Iranian military carried out a drone attack on cargo ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. One of the drones struck a ship.
U.S. President Donald Trump made this statement on his social media platform, Truth Social.
According to Trump, the Islamic Republic of Iran launched at least four single-use drones at ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
One of the drones struck the upper deck of a large and expensive cargo ship. Despite the damage sustained, the ship was able to continue on its way.
Three more enemy drones were shot down. Trump emphasized that such actions constitute a direct violation of the agreements.
“It is clear that this is a senseless violation of our ceasefire agreement,” he said.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran does not charge any tolls or insurance fees to civilian ships passing through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Global prices for Brent crude oil fell after the conclusion of talks between the U.S. and Iran in Switzerland, during which Tehran announced that it had secured exemptions for the export of oil and petrochemical products. This eased market concerns about a potential supply shortage.
Global oil prices fell sharply on Thursday, June 19, amid reports of an agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Brent futures fell to $77.96 per barrel, while WTI futures dropped to $74.96, their lowest levels since late February.
