First up—ceasefire or not, the shooting has already started. U.S. forces engaged Iranian boats and came under missile and drone fire just hours into Project Freedom—the U.S. effort to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

Plus, North Korea pushes back against accusations it’s behind the majority of global crypto theft, calling the claims politically motivated.

And in today’s Back of the Brief—two U.S. service members go missing during a military exercise in Morocco, as search efforts are now underway.
