Trump Accuses Iran of Drone Attack in Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of launching multiple drones at commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, alleging the attack breached a recently established ceasefire.

In a post on his social platform, Trump claimed Iran deployed at least four drones against ships in the strategic waterway. According to the US president, one drone struck the upper deck of a large cargo vessel, while three others were intercepted.

Trump described the incident as a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire agreement. At the time of reporting, Iran had not publicly responded to the allegations.

The claims have emerged as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a United Nations agency, temporarily suspended its plans to evacuate ships and seafarers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said the operation was paused to reassess the security environment and verify safety guarantees for vessels in the region.

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital global shipping route for a major share of the world’s energy exports, and the latest allegations have raised fresh concerns over maritime security.
