U.S. forces shot down two Iranian one-way attack drones as Tehran appeared to try to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official told Reuters, adding that 'traffic flow through the strait continues'.

Why it matters

The next day Trump called it a 'totally rebuffed Drone attack last night against Indian Ships' and warned Iran to 'get their act together', hours after announcing a deal.
