This is a developing story.

The U.S. conducted strikes against radar and drone storage sites on the Iranian coast late Friday New York time, per a CENTCOM statement. The statement described the strikes as a retaliation for an Iranian attack on a Singapore-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz Thursday.
