Iran has fired multiple drones at commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz every night since the US-Iran memorandum of understanding was signed, NBC news reports.
A US official tells the outlet that the US military has been shooting down the drones launched by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps before they can threaten any vessels or personnel in the region.
Washington and Tehran are preparing to formally sign the framework on Friday, having already digitally signed it on Sunday.
