On Monday, the four-week-old ceasefire in the Middle East appeared to falter.

Shortly after the United States announced it had guided two American ships through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran launched missiles and drones against American warships and commercial vessels.

None of the Iranian attacks were successful, but the U.S.

said it sank six Iranian speedboats that threatened American ships.

At the same time, Iran launched attacks against the United Arab Emirates, according to officials there, striking a major oil storage zone.

It's unclear for now whether the Iranian attacks mean that the war has now resumed.
