US claims progress in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, saying 2 merchant ships have transited

Iran launched attacks on the UAE for the first time since a ceasefire, while two American-flagged merchant ships successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz under U.S. efforts to restore traffic. This action is a response to President Trump's initiative and could alleviate global economic concerns and reduce Iran's leverage in negotiations. However, such efforts also carry the risk of reigniting full-scale conflict.
