A source familiar with the details told i24NEWS that Iran launched multiple drones toward ships in the Strait of Hormuz since the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington on Sunday. All the drones were intercepted by US forces. No damage or casualties have been reported.
The Zioneer has extensively covered the ongoing kinetic friction in the waterway, with previous background reports documenting warning shots, CENTCOM interceptions of suicide drones targeting commercial shipping, and broader US strikes aimed at securing freedom of navigation. The current drone launches — attributed by the source to Iran — occurred despite a diplomatic framework that was meant to de-escalate tensions. The US military has not yet issued a formal statement on this specific incident, and the nationality or identity of the targeted vessels was not disclosed.
