Did someone say ‘cease-fire?’ Iran has reportedly launched drones and cruise missiles along with small boats targeting U.S.-flagged ships in the Strait of Hormuz. No vessels were hit and no injuries were reported.

More from NBC News:
The U.S. used attack helicopters to blow up the small boats and intercept the drones, according to Adm. Brad Cooper. He said in a call Monday that U.S. Navy ships were protecting U.S. commercial vessels transiting the strait, as part of President Donald Trump’s new mission to guide stranded vessels through the critical waterway.
Cooper would not address whether this meant the U.S.-Iran ceasefire that began April 8 was now over.
Over the weekend, the United Arab Emirates said Iran had launched missiles at the country for the first time since a ceasefire was declared a month ago. Iranian state media reported it had no plans to target the UAE.
And the South Korean government also said an explosion and fire had occurred on a South Korean-operated cargo ship.
Trump told Fox News today that Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth” if it doesn’t stop attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
