Good evening. I'm Amna Nawaz. Jeff Bennett is away. On the news hour tonight, Iran fires on

commercial vessels and American warships as the U.S. launches a new mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The Supreme Court temporarily restores nationwide access to a widely used abortion pill,

and cuts at the U.S. Forest Service raise concerns about its ability to protect public lands and fight wildfires.

They're working with a lot of uncertainty and lower morale, and that's not the way you go into an intense fire situation.

Welcome to the news hour. The tenuous truce between the U.S. and Iran was tested today as American ships clearing a lane in the Strait of Hormuz came under fire and sank Iranian boats.

Also today, Iran fired drones and missiles at a key oil terminal in the United Arab Emirates, spooking markets and raising concerns that the war could resume.

Nick Schifrin begins our coverage.

Today, the war in Iran threatened to reignite.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, fired missiles and drones and deployed small speedboats

like these to attack U.S. guided missile destroyers, trying to clear Iran's chokehold in the

Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. fired back, said the military's top Middle East commander

in a briefing to reporters.

The IRGC has launched multiple cruise missiles, drones and small boats at ships we are protecting.

We have defeated each and every one of those threats through the clinical application of defensive munitions.

Those munitions used by jets, ships, and more than 15,000 service members conducting Project Freedom.

It's designed a clear lane through which

dozens of ships currently stuck can pass through the strait under a defensive umbrella,

with a U.S. official compared to zone defense rather than the man-to-man defense of an escort.

We have multiple layers that include ships, helicopters, aircraft, airborne early warning, electronic warfare.

We have a much broader defensive package than you would have ever if you're just escorting.

Iran's campaign in the strait has damaged only 30 vessels since the start of the war.
