DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The shaky ceasefire in the Iran war faces new challenges as drone attacks occur in the Gulf region. On Sunday, a drone set a small fire on a ship off Qatar’s coast, and the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait reported drones entering their airspaces. The UAE blamed Iran for the attack. There were no casualties reported, and no one immediately claimed responsibility. Iran and its allies have a large fleet of drones used for strikes since the war began. The U.S. awaits Iran’s response to a proposal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iran warns of retaliation if its vessels are attacked.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards on May 4 denied that any commercial ships had crossed the Strait of Hormuz, after the US military earlier said two US-flagged merchant vessels had transited through the vital waterway.
