The US “detected a couple drones” after Iran said it had launched strikes against American military sites in the Middle East, but the drones did not reach their targets, a US official told CNN.

Earlier Saturday, maritime authorities said a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an “unidentified projectile.” And on Friday, the US struck Iranian targets around the key waterway in response to an attack on a cargo ship. Back-and-forth developments in the strait have cast uncertainty over the initial US-Iran agreement signed this month, which was intended to restore normal marine traffic.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military launched a drone attack in southern Lebanon on Saturday, a day after agreeing to withdraw some troops from the region. The strike, which Lebanon’s Health Ministry said killed one person, highlights the fragility of a ceasefire intended to end the fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
