Axios reported on the 27th that a senior U.S. official said Iran fired four
one-way attack drones at a U.S. merchant ship; the U.S. military shot down those
drones and struck another ground drone‑launch unit before it could fire.
Earlier, CNN, citing a U.S. official, reported that on the 27th ET U.S. forces
carried out new airstrikes in Iran targeting "a location that posed a threat to
U.S. forces and commercial shipping," and that the U.S. military also
intercepted several drones launched from Iran.
