US Says Ceasefire With Iran is Holding Despite Attacks

UNITED STATES – U.S. military leaders say a ceasefire remains in effect a day after Iran was blamed for new attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and against the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The key American ally later said it came under Iranian drone and missile attack again on Tuesday.

Still, the fragile truce reached nearly a month ago, appearing to be holding as U.S. forces pressed ahead with efforts to reopen the strait.

So far, only two merchant ships are known to have passed through the new U.S.-guarded route.
