US Central Command has said that since the start of Project Freedom, the Iranian military has fired at American naval and commercial ships. Iran has also resumed firing missiles at the United Arab Emirates, and is suspected of targeting a South Korean cargo vessel anchored in the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n<p>Washington&#8217;s top general, Dan Caine, has said that the latest Iranian attacks have fallen below the threshold of restarting major combat operations, but that American forces were ready to resume such operations. <\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the Global News Podcast are published twice a day.
