Iran has fired multiple drones toward commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz since the signing of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Sunday, a source told The Jerusalem Post.
The source added that all of the drones had been intercepted by the US military before they pose a threat to commercial or US military ships and personnel.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is launching the drones, a US official told NBC, adding that the US military continues to coordinate with shipping companies to support ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz.
