The Pentagon has confirmed that Iranian forces launched missile strikes targeting U.S. Navy destroyers this afternoon. All strikes were intercepted without damage to the vessels.
Retaliatory actions by the United States have already commenced against Iran, following President Trump’s warning of swift and severe consequences for such aggression.
U.S. military operations also targeted an Iranian naval checkpoint at Bandar Kargan in Minab.
Iranian authorities reported air defense activity near western Tehran during Thursday night’s incidents. Eyewitnesses described multiple explosions in Chitgar.
Additional reports indicate exchanges of fire across Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, including areas near Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island.
This development follows an Iranian missile attack on the UAE’s Fujairah Port two days ago. U.S. defense officials stated that previous attacks did not constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
