“The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social Post.
“One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship,” the president wrote.
“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.”
Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the ​International Maritime Organization, said the evacuation plan would be temporarily paused “in order to reconfirm that the necessary safety guarantees continue to be in place for the ships on our evacuation list and ​all those in the region.”
