US President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating their ceasefire agreement by firing at cargo ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, underscoring how unsettled the situation remains in a waterway critical to global energy flows. 

In a social media post Friday, Trump said “at least four” one-way attack drones targeted ships in the strait and that one of them “solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive” cargo ship.

The vessel was “able to proceed,” Trump said, adding that the other three drones were downed.
“Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement,” the president posted, without saying what the consequences of a violation might be.

Tensions between Donald Trump and US Senate Republicans crescendoed to a fever-pitch during a Wednesday lunch after a 24-hour exchange that saw lawmakers rebuke the president over the war with Iran while he abruptly canceled a signing ceremony for legislation that the GOP sees as essential to its midterm election efforts. 

Trump refused to sign a bipartisan housing bill before attending a private luncheon with lawmakers at the US Capitol. A day earlier, as Trump was holding a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the Republican-led Senate for the first time passed a largely symbolic measure to curb his ability to wage war with Iran. 

US Senator John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, told reporters that Trump was “mad as a murder hornet” at the war powers vote because it undermined his ongoing negotiations with Iran.

Donald Trump and Republicans in the US Senate squabbled on Wednesday, as the president abruptly canceled plans to sign a bipartisan housing bill and lawmakers pressed him over his handling of the war in Iran.

Trump’s refusal to sign the legislation came shortly before a private luncheon with Senate Republicans at the US Capitol, where tensions quickly flared. Louisiana Republican Bill Cassidy, whose Senate career Trump helped end, repeatedly criticized the president over the Middle East conflict, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune tried to play peacemaker, a person familiar said. Spokespeople for Cassidy and Thune did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The president defended his war effort, telling senators he is the first president to do something to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, said another person familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to describe the closed-door exchange. Senator Jon Husted, a Republican from Ohio, described the Cassidy-Trump exchange as “memorable” but declined to say more.
