US-Iran War Live Updates: The United States and Iran have traded strikes after Washington accused Tehran of attacking a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command said the strikes were a "powerful response" to an attack on a commercial ship, M/V Ever Lovely, on June 25.

Shortly after the US strikes, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said that they had attacked American sites in the Gulf region. "If the aggression is repeated, our response will be broader than this," the Guards said.

"Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone. But violence will be met with violence," he posted on X.

US-Iran War Live Updates: US Slams Iran's "Unwarranted Aggression"

US Central Command said the American strikes against 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."

"US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Iran hit M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone. The Singapore-flagged cargo ship was exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast at the time of Iran's attack," the Central Command said in a statement.

"The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire. Furthermore, Iran's dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor," the statement read.

They said the American forces continue to provide "safe passage coordination and support" to commercial vessels transiting Hormuz, where a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies typically passes.

"The US military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect," the Central Command added.
