Okay now we are getting the truth of what happened today in the Strait of Hormuz, and what Iran reported was not even close to the truth.
Here’s what CENTCOM says happened:
U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

I really don’t understand how this doesn’t break the ceasefire, but the attack by Iran could be an attempt to try and provoke President Trump back into war in order to derail the negotiations. So I can understand why Trump isn’t taking the bait.
