Event details
CENTCOM said Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones toward commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and that U.S. forces downed them in recent hours. The command said traffic through the strait continued unimpeded, while wire and regional outlets framed the intercepts as a flare-up inside the still-unsigned deal window.
Context
The intercept turns Hormuz reopening from deal language into a live security test: ship tracks, UKMTO notices, insurer guidance and any Iranian follow-on claims now matter as much as the MOU text.
