United States forces on Thursday shot down two Iranian drones that were attempting to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
According to NBC News, an American official revealed this on Thursday with no other details provided on the targeted vessels or any damage resulting from the incident.
“It appears Iran has attempted to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz tonight. US forces shot down two Iranian one-way attack drones. Traffic flow through the Strait continues,” the official said.
This came a few hours after US President Donald Trump said Washington was close to reaching an agreement with Iran on ending the war.
According to him, the agreement could be signed very soon, adding that Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner would represent the US at a possible signing ceremony in Europe.
