Iran Launches Drones at Merchant Ships, U.S. Intercepts Them

The story · English

NBC reports that since a memorandum of understanding was signed between Iran and the United States on Sunday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been sending drones toward merchant vessels every night. According to the report, U.S. forces have been intercepting the drones.

The article does not specify which ships were targeted, where the interceptions took place, or whether any vessel was hit. It says only that the drone launches have continued nightly since the agreement was signed.

The report frames the incident as unfolding after the Sunday understanding between Tehran and Washington, suggesting continued maritime tension despite the deal. No additional details were provided about casualties, damage, or the purpose of the launches.
