“U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged strikes on land and at sea Thursday as President Donald Trump pursues a comprehensive deal to end the war. Central Command said U.S. forces were responding with ‘self-defense strikes’ in the country after Iranian forces launched missiles, drones and small boats at three Navy destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz …. Trump confirmed the attacks in a social media post, describing Iranian drones as getting ‘incinerated while in the air’ before being ‘dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave.’ He told ABC News that the U.S. strikes were a ‘love tap’ and that the ceasefire remains in effect. … Iran said the U.S. strikes amounted to a violation of the ceasefire, and said the U.S. targeted an Iranian oil tanker travelling through the strait, according to an Iranian statement carried by state media.” (05/07/26)
