Iran and US trade blame for attacks, Rescue teams arrive in Venezuela

Al Jazeera Podcasts. The U.S. military says it's carried out strikes on Iran in response to a drone attack on a cargo ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. Iran's Revolutionary Guard says its Navy has responded by targeting several U.S. military locations in the region. U.S. Central Command released this video of strikes of unnamed sites. Sentcom says its aircraft,

targeted Iranian missile and drone storage locations as well as coastal radar sites. It's the first time the US has hit Iran since the two sides agreed on an interim agreement paving the way for a final peace deal. Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it repelled the attack. Iranian state media is reporting a projectile struck near a pier in Syrac and southern Iran. The city overlooks the Strait of Hormuz. Kashem Island has also reportedly. been targeted.

In a statement, CENTCOM says the unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire. Furthermore, Iran's dangerous behaviour undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor. CENTCOM forces continue to provide safe passage, coordination and support to commercial vessels transiting the strait. the U.S. military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran

are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect. Well, earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Iran of carrying out the attack on the commercial ship, calling it a, quote, foolish violation of the ceasefire agreement. Do you consider the ceasefire to still be in place? I don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday, Actually, four, we knocked down three, at a ship. Not an allied ship, but a ship, a very expensive ship.
