The U.S. military conducted strikes against Iran on Friday (June 26, 2026), Central Command said in a statement, adding that U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Tehran’s attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a framework agreement on Friday (June 26, 2026) between Israel and Lebanon after talks in Washington.
Washington’s top diplomat said Thursday (June 25, 2026) there are limits to what it would accept in any Iran deal, as an attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz led the UN to suspend an effort to evacuate trapped mariners.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in Bahrain as part of a regional tour to reassure Gulf partners hit hard by the West Asia war, also dismissed the idea of allowing Tehran to charge fees in the strait, saying it would open the door to “chaos”.
Iranian media said a projectile struck the area around a pier in Sirik in southern Iran on Friday. The report came after the U.S. military said it had conducted strikes against Iran. Iranian media, citing a military source, added that warning shots had been fired hours earlier on Friday toward “violating vessels” in the Strait of Hormuz.
