President Donald Trump on Friday accused Iran of violating a cease-fire agreement with the United States by firing attack drones at ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, including a cargo ship that was collided off the coast of Oman on Thursday.
Later, at the White House, President Trump was asked by reporters whether there would be any impact on Iran, and he said, “We’ll see.”
Asked if he believed the ceasefire was still in effect, Trump said: “I don’t like the fact that they fired yesterday.”
“They shouldn’t do that. So we’ll see,” he said.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has launched at least four unidirectional attack drones at ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post accusing Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement.
“One of the drones made a solid impact on the upper deck of a large and very expensive cargo carrier,” the president wrote.
“Despite the damage, the ship was able to continue sailing. We shot down three other drones. Clearly, this is a foolish violation of the ceasefire agreement.”
President Trump’s statement came after the International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency, suspended efforts to evacuate ships and sailors stranded in the strait.
International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said in a statement that the evacuation plan was suspended “to reaffirm that the necessary security continues to be ensured for the vessels on the evacuation list and for all vessels in the area.”
