Jun 13, 2026, 02:36 GMT+1

Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, US Central Command said on Friday.

"Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have downed all of them in recent hours as traffic flow through the strait continues unimpeded. The international trade corridor remains open for transit," CENTCOM posted on X.
