According to a senior U.S. defense official, commercial shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz was clearly threatened on Thursday night after the Islamic Republic of Iran fired drones at vessels passing through this strategic waterway.

Fox News reported that the official stated, "It appears that the Islamic Republic attempted to attack commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz tonight. U.S. forces shot down two Iranian one-way attack drones."

The official noted that despite these attacks, maritime traffic through the strait continues.

This development came hours after Donald Trump mentioned that an agreement with the Islamic Republic might be signed within days, and the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened as part of this agreement.

Following the sound of several explosions heard along the southern coast of Iran, the Fars news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard, reported earlier, citing "local sources" in Bandar Abbas, that Islamic Republic forces did not allow a tanker that had entered the Strait of Hormuz "without coordination" to pass.
