Iran Kept Launching Drones at U.S. Ships Despite Ceasefire Deal

According to NBC, Iran continued firing unmanned aerial vehicles at American vessels over the past several days, even after signing a ceasefire agreement with the United States. U.S. forces intercepted and destroyed several drones launched by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps toward commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, NBC said.
