The Iran war has entered its skirmishing phase as the regime spent much of the past week firing at the United Arab Emirates and U.S. forces, who returned fire in self-defense. President Trump says the cease-fire endures, but for how much longer can that be while Iran keeps shooting?

On Thursday Iran launched missiles, drones and small boats to attack three U.S. warships as they transited the Strait of Hormuz. This was an Iranian attempt to kill U.S. troops, but it was intercepted. The U.S. destroyers exited Hormuz successfully, an important demonstration of the U.S. path through the closed Strait. “No U.S. assets were struck,” Central Command said, adding, “Centcom does not seek escalation.”
