Can't help but feel the U.S. propaganda machine is relying on people's poor geography today. Apparently the U.S. had to return fire after its vessels were targeted in Hormuz. But there were interceptions over Tehran.
Now, it's possible that Iran fired some huge missile from Tehran at a U.S. vessel in Hormuz, but Tehran is really quite a long way from Hormuz. Even if that was what happened, firing missiles at Tehran and other plum targets doesn't seem like a measured response during a ceasefire.

(Right now it seems to me far more likely that the "escort" operation was actually always a pretext to put U.S. vessels closer to the Iranian coast than they would have been otherwise.)
