struck Iran on Friday in response to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. It’s the most significant test yet to an interim understanding reached a week ago by the two countries to begin work- ing to end their monthslong war and reopen the pivotal waterway. President Donald Trump said the drone attack violated the ceasefire. The strikes came shortly after Trump told reporters, “You’ll find out,” whether the U.S. would respond.

U.S. Central Command said the military struck missile and drone locations and coastal radar sites in Iran. “I don’t like the fact that they took a shot yesterday, actually four of them,” Trump said at the White House shortly before the U.S. struck back. When asked why there would be strikes when Trump has insisted talks with Tehran are going well, Trump said of Iran: “They’re a little bit different.” He then abruptly cut off questions and reporters were ushered out of his office.

Ebrahim Azizi, who heads the Iranian parliament’s national security commis- sion, responded to Trump on social media earlier Friday, saying, “the Strait of Hormuz is governed by Iran, so: Respect the rules” and to “not mistake control for esca- lation.” “This is not a violation of the ceasefire; it is ceasefire management,” Azizi wrote. The U.S. strikes on Iran concluded about an hour after U.S.

Central Command announced the military action on social media, a U.S. official with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing military operation. The British military said Thursday that a container ship was hit by a projectile off the coast of Oman, coming hours after Iran threatened vessels to stop using the route.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said no injuries were reported. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined Israel and Lebanon’s ambassadors to the U.S. on Friday to announce a framework agreement that was described as a first step toward peace following months of conflict between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The officials did not share details on the agreement, which does not include Hezbollah and prompted one of the group’s officials in Lebanon to warn of civil war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said that the framework would allow Lebanese forces to eventually take control of territory from Israel’s military.

JOHN STARKS/DAILY HERALD NETWORK VIDEO PRODUCTIONS A 26-year-old West Loop woman died in a late Thursday night boat crash near Monroe Harbor that left at least four other people seriously injured. The two recreational boats collided with each other on Lake Michigan about a mile and a half offshore around 11:45 p.m., said Jason Lach, a deputy district chief for the Chicago Fire Department, on Friday.

Review in Arts & Living, Page B7 By Bob Goldsborough FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE A badly deteriorated Frank Lloyd Wright-designed single-family home on Chica- go’s West Side looks to have a new lease on life, as a community organization this week bought the home and plans a major renova- tion and reuse.

Built in 1903 and known as the J.J. Walser House, the home, at 42 N. Central Ave., has been described by architectural experts as an exemplary example of Wright’s Prairie style. It’s the only Wright-designed single-family home on the West Side, and, until fairly recently, the same family had owned it for more than 50 years. Longtime owner Anne Teague died in 2019, and after that, the home went into foreclosure, even- tually falling into the hands of the Federal National Mortgage Asso- ciation, or Fannie Mae.

The home’s condition has long alarmed preservationists, partic- ularly aficionados of Wright’s work. In 2025, the nonprofit group Landmarks Illinois placed the Walser House on its annual list of the 10 most endangered historic places in Illinois. Now, the Walser House, which was listed on the National Regis- New life for Wright house on West Side The J.J. Walser House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and is located at 42 N.

BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE Bands often break up over creative differences or personal conflicts, but in the case of The Huns, it was just the calendar: high school graduation day. The garage rockers from the northwest suburbs went off to college and careers, and hadn’t performed together in public — much less picked up a guitar, for some of them — since the late 1960s, when they were regulars on the local touring circuit of church gymnasiums, sock hops and teen dance clubs. Then came the Oct.
