The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the US had shot down several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) allegedly launched by Iran to attack merchant vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. «Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have downed all of them in recent hours as traffic flow through the strait continues unimpeded,» CENTCOM said on X. Iran previously announced that it had closed the passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz until further notice, including those with permits. The decision was related to the recent US strikes on Iran.
