00:00The U.S. and Iran have both claimed they have fired at each other's forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:05Here's what to know.
00:07The U.S. military claimed its helicopters had sunk six small boats targeting civilian ships as it moved to reopen
00:14the strait.
00:15It also claimed two American-flagged merchant ships had successfully transited the strait on Monday through a passage free of
00:22Iranian mines,
00:23part of an initiative U.S. President Donald Trump had dubbed Project Freedom, framing the effort as humanitarian.
00:31The military also claimed Iran launched multiple cruise missiles, drones, and small boats at civilian ships under U.S. protection.
00:39I call it a mini-war because that's all they are. They don't have a navy anymore.
00:44Can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
00:47We hit all new highs and I said we have to take care of business because we can't let that
00:51happen.
00:51So we did a little detour. Then it's working out very nicely.
00:55The claims of efforts to reopen a channel in the strait were welcomed by ship captains on Monday, but were
01:01also viewed with uncertainty.
01:03We haven't received any concrete news so far regarding this transit through Strait of Hormuz
01:09because we are still awaiting confirmation from various maritime authorities and our company office.
01:19Iran claimed it had struck a U.S. Navy vessel near the strait.
01:23Iranian state media released this footage, claiming that the Iranian Navy had fired warning shots at U.S. destroyers.
01:30The U.S. denied the claims that their vessel had been struck.
01:33And the United Arab Emirates said its air defences had engaged 15 missiles and four drones fired by Iran,
01:40with authorities claiming one drone sparked a fire at a key oil facility.
01:44It's the first time the key U.S. ally has come under fire since the fragile ceasefire took hold in
01:49early April.
01:50Tehran did not confirm or deny the attack, but Iran's foreign minister said the U.S. and the UAE
01:56should be wary of being dragged back into the quagmire.
