Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman.
There's concern that war could resume with Iran.
The United Arab Emirates says it was hit by Iranian drone and missile attacks yesterday.
That came after the U.S. Launched an operation to try to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
NPS Greg Myrie says two commercial ships have gotten through the strait.
U.S. Admiral Brad Cooper, the commanding officer, said the first day of the operation wasn't easy.
Most of the Iranian fire was directed at the merchant ships, though U.S. Naval vessels also came under fire.
None of the ships was hit.
Cooper says the U.S. Plans to expand the operation,
though it 's not yet clear how many commercial ships will be willing to take the risk, even with U.S. Protection.
Hundreds of merchant ships are still stranded in the Gulf due to Iran's blockade.
