CENTCOM said Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones at commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and that U.S. forces 'downed all of them in recent hours', adding that traffic continued unimpeded and 'the international trade corridor remains open for transit'.
Why it matters
It was the second night of Iranian drone launches at ships while both governments said a deal was close, and Trump had warned Iran that morning to 'get their act together, and FAST'.
