President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran had 'foolishly violated' the ceasefire by striking ships in the Strait of Hormuz with drones, according to journalist Amit Segal (N12). The statement comes amid weeks of US-Iran military escalation and a U.S.-imposed nuclear framework.
President Donald Trump accused Iran on Friday evening of having 'foolishly violated' the ceasefire by striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz with drones, according to a report by journalist Amit Segal (N12). Trump's remark — 'Iran foolishly violated the ceasefire when it attacked ships with drones in the Strait of Hormuz' — appears to reference a reported Iranian attack through the strategic waterway, which has been a flashpoint in the ongoing U.S.-Iran confrontation.
The statement follows weeks of sharp military escalation between Washington and Tehran, including multiple waves of American Tomahawk strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure, and Trump's earlier threats of 'very hard' daily strikes. The U.S. has maintained a maritime blockade in the region. In recent days, Trump has also touted a nuclear memorandum of understanding with Iran, claiming it reopened the Strait of Hormuz and prevented an 'economic disaster,' while warning that continued bombing was 'stupid.'
It remains unclear from the brief report whether the drone strike Trump cited represents a new event or a reference to earlier hostilities. The White House has not elaborated, and no independent confirmation has emerged. The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's assessments of Iran's stalling tactics and his threats to intensify strikes.
