This morning, new military action is adding fresh strain to efforts to end the fighting

between the United States and Iran. On state TV, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard says

it shot down a U.S. drone overnight and fired on other aircraft, it said, entered Iranian airspace

Iran's supreme leader also warned that countries across the region will, quote

they called self-defense strikes, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats they said
0:36
were trying to place mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The military action comes while negotiations

Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed that 32 vessels, including oil tankers, moved through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours

And reports from Qatar media say at least one Iranian official has discussed reopening the strait in phases
