The U.S. Military says it's disabled two additional Iranian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Trump administration says ongoing attacks do not mean the ceasefire is over.
NPR's Quill Lawrence reports commercial shipping traffic through the region remains under close watch.
Centcom posted video on social media showing the massive Iranian tankers as their smokestacks burst
into flames from precision U.S. Strikes.
Centcom says the tankers were empty and approaching Iranian ports despite the U.S. Blockade.
For its part, Iran continues to effectively block all commerce through the Strait of Hormuz,
stopping oil, gas, and fertilizer shipping for a significant part of the globe.
This comes after Iran and U.S. Forces traded attacks this week,
but the White House maintains that a four-week-old ceasefire continues,
and therefore congressional approval is not needed for the war.
Iranian negotiators have n't announced a reply to the latest U.S. Proposal to end the war,
and the demands of both sides still appear far apart.

President Trump says a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine will take effect this weekend.
