Reports from Fars News Agency claim that two missiles struck a U.S. Navy vessel near the strategic Strait of Hormuz after it allegedly ignored repeated warnings from Iran’s naval forces. The incident reportedly occurred near Jask port, where the American warship was said to be attempting transit through the waterway in violation of Iranian-defined maritime security protocols. According to the report, the vessel sustained damage and was forced to retreat from the area.
However, a U.S. official has denied the claims in statements to Axios and journalist Barak Ravid, rejecting assertions that missiles were fired. As of now, there is no formal confirmation or detailed statement from U.S. authorities, leaving the situation unclear and raising concerns about rising tensions in this critical global shipping corridor.
