U.S. responds to Iranian drone attack on ship in Strait of Hormuz

June 27, 2026

Just as nothing else in the military assault on Iran, triggered by the Islamic regime’s now-fading insistence that it obtain nuclear weapons, has been typical, neither is the ongoing ceasefire to which the sides agreed.

The latest move was strikes by the U.S. military on Iranian targets in response to Iran’s drone attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, according to CBS reports.

The strikes on Friday were the first by Americans since the two sides agreed to extend a ceasefire last week.

The targets were missile and drone storage as well as radar sites.

U.S. Central Command said Iranian locations were hit after Iran “hit M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone. The Singapore-flagged cargo ship was exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast at the time of Iran’s attack.”

CENTCOM said, “The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire. Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior 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.”

CBS reported an official confirmed American aircraft hit targets along the Strait of Hormuz as well as on Qeshm Island.

Reports said President Donald Trump characterized the attack by Iran as a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire.

The agreement calls for Iran to allow safe and toll-free passage through the Strait, and ships have been transiting, causing world oil prices to fall. But like so many other issues involving Iran, disagreements have flared.

Talks are to be continuing between the two sides, although what the latest developments may mean isn’t clear.

Tennis season is officially in full swing.

On Monday, June 29, Wimbledon got underway in dramatic fashion at The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.

Defending men’s champion Jannik Sinner of Italy barely took down No. 50 Miomir Kecmanović, defeating the Serb in five sets. Mid-match, the world No. 1 tripped, crumpled to the ground mid-rally and later saw his foot get bloodied.

Meanwhile, women’s No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka had better luck against a Serbian underdog, besting Teodora Kostovic 6-2, 6-3.

And that was just day one.

If you’d like to be at the world-famous grassy London courts, last-minute all-day passes are still available for all upcoming dates of the iconic tourney.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on passes was $2,115 including fees on SeatGeek (that’s for Thursday, July 9, by the way).

Other dates have passes starting anywhere from $2,729 to $13,985 including fees.

Make sure to use promo code NYPOST10 for $10 off purchases over $250 at checkout (Editor’s Note: this discount is only valid for users’ first purchase on SeatGeek).

In addition to Sinner and Sabalenka, notable players also set to take the grass by storm over the next two weeks include seven-time Wimbledon champ Novak Djokovic, Roland Garros victor Alexander Zverev, World No. 2 Elena Rybakina, 2025 winner Iga Świątek and fan-favorite Coc Gauff.

Plus, Serena Williams will be on the grounds playing singles as well.

Fans that have never attended are in for a literal treat, too.

“Pimms and strawberries and cream are an integral part of the Wimbledon experience – 200,000 punnets of strawberries are served during the Championships,” On The Luce reports.

“There are lots of other eating options though, ranging from takeaway cafés to sit-down restaurants and Champagne bars.”

Where can I get U.S. Open tickets?

Fans hoping to attend Flushing’s annual blue court tourney can pick up tickets well over a month in advance.

If you’d like to catch beloved blue court battles live in Queens, some seats can be yours for as low as $54 including fees on SeatGeek.

Not too bad considering you won’t have to travel to England and will likely see many familiar faces that also competed at Wimbledon (plus, Roger Federer who is putting on a one-night doubles event with Andre Agassi, John McEnroe and Andy Roddick on Aug. 24).

To find the match that makes the most sense for your schedule and wallet, you can find 2026 U.S. Open tickets here.

About Wimbledon 2026

One of this year’s biggest storylines at Wimbledon are all the players not taking part in the tournament.

Sadly, Carlos Alcaraz will be sitting due to a wrist injury he suffered at the Barcelona Open this spring. Biggies Marketa Vondrousova, Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper have also withdrawn.

On a lighter note, as noted above, 44-year-old Serena Williams is competing in a singles match at Wimbledon for the first time since 2022. All eyes will be on her for her match with 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint on June 30.

Players will also be getting paid more than ever before. Ahead of this year’s Wimbledon, a 20% prize pool increase was implemented. Other upgrades at the tourney include a video review system for controversial line calls and new-and-improved heat stress rules.

Wimbledon fashion 2026

Off the court, trendsetters will be serving looks in the stands.

Just a few of the biggest attention-grabbers this year thus far include Naomi Osaka’s kimono-inspired fit, Bad Bunny’s low-key look, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann’s simple yet elegant numbers, Isla Fisher’s flow-y dress and Sir David Beckham’s classy, single-breasted suit.
