U.S. conducts strikes on Iran | 26 June 2026 | The U.S. has conducted airstrikes in Iran for the first time since a preliminary peace agreement was signed on June 17. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said American aircraft struck missile sites, drone storage facilities and radar installations on Friday in response to a drone attack on the Singaporean-flagged commercial vessel M/V Ever Lovely in the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier. Iranian media reported that explosions were heard on Sirik Island, in the southern province of Hormozgan. IRIB, citing a source, said that two projectiles struck a telecommunications tower near Sirik. Citing a military source, Iranian outlets reported that warning shots had been fired hours earlier toward what the source described as “violating vessels” in the Strait of Hormuz.
