One source told the Times all of the missiles were intercepted.
While the back and forth appeared to be limited, it underscores how the US is still struggling to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
The Trump administration has been urging commercial vessels to make the journey through with guidance from the US Navy, and military officials say they're prepared to launch new attacks on Iran if shipping traffic is threatened.
As part of that effort to keep the waterway open, the Navy continues to have an array of ships stationed near the strait, including aircraft carriers, destroyers, and other vessels.
It's become a huge logistical challenge.
My colleague John Ismay is a former naval officer, and he's been covering the supply chain issues the Navy has been facing.
Those issues burst into public view recently as reports spread of deteriorating conditions aboard the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier.
But John says that even though that ship has been swapped out, the other Navy vessels in the Middle East are facing similar resupply challenges.
That's because a key US base in the region, in Bahrain, was largely destroyed by Iranian forces on the first day of the war.
Instead, the navies had to rely on getting supplies from the tiny British controlled island of Diego Garcia, way out in the Indian Ocean.
That includes food and other critical provisions, along with huge amounts of fuel.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has downplayed issues with keeping the Navy's fleet running at full steam, telling reporters earlier this month that the US could keep its naval blockade on Iran, quote, as long as we need to, indefinitely.

significant control over Venezuela's vast oil reserves.
President Trump announced the agreement on Friday, claiming it's the biggest oil deal in world history, and Venezuela's president, Delcy Rodriguez, said it would generate hundreds of billions of dollars for her country by developing more than a dozen.
Yeah.
Rodriguez came into power earlier this year with the blessing of the Trump administration after US Special Forces captured her predecessor, Nicholas Maduro.
And since then, Venezuela's been effectively run from Washington.
The Trump administration has said it wants to help revitalize the country's economy and transition it to democracy, but there are no elections in sight, and millions of Venezuelans are still in poverty, which has many people wondering when it comes to this new oil deal.
What's in it for us?
