The U.S. military said today that after Iran attacked the Evergreen Shipping Line’s Evergreen ship with a drone, the U.S. military responded by dispatching military aircraft to attack Iran’s missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar stations. The U.S. Central Command (US Central Command) issued a statement on the Central Command pointed out that after Iran attacked the “Ever Lovely” with a unidirectional attack drone, the US military dispatched military aircraft to attack Iran’s missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar stations. The US military stated that the Singapore-flagged Changli was sailing along the coast of Oman and leaving the Strait of Hormuz when it was attacked by Iran. Central Command pointed out that the Iranian forces’ unreasonable provocations against commercial shipping “clearly violated the ceasefire agreement.” Iran’s dangerous actions undermine freedom of navigation as commerce moves increasingly through this important international trade corridor. Central Command emphasized that it will continue to provide safe passage coordination and support for merchant ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military will maintain deployment and alert to ensure that the agreement reached with Iran is adhered to and fully and effectively implemented. U.S. President Donald Trump also posted on social media earlier that Iran launched at least four drones at ships passing through this important waterway. One of them hit the upper deck of a large cargo ship. Although the ship was damaged, it was still able to continue sailing. The United States shot down the other three drones. He also criticized Iran for “foolishly” violating the ceasefire agreement. Evergreen Marine issued a statement stating that the “Evergreen” owned by Evergreen Marine Singapore Company followed the route recommended by the British Maritime Trade Action Office. While passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the starboard side of the bridge superstructure was hit by an unknown object. After preliminary inspection by the crew, it was found that the eaves and cab windows were damaged, but the people, ship and cargo were all safe, and the ship had left the strait safely. The United States and Iran recently signed a memorandum to end the war in the Middle East, which includes the United States, Iran and their allies in the current war. By signing this memorandum, they announced the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts.
