US strikes Iran in response to drone strike on commercial ship

Could Israel sabotage the deal? The United States has renewed its attacks against Iran, in response to an incident a day earlier when a cargo vessel was struck by an Iranian drone. On Friday, the US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said it had issued a "powerful response to yesterday's attack". "Iran's dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor." US strikes were reported near the southern Iranian port of Sirik after the announcement.
