Local Reports Say Two Missiles Hit US Navy Vessel in Southern Iranian Waters
Local news sources in Southern Iran are reporting that two missiles have struck a US Navy frigate in the regional waters.
According to the political correspondent of Fars News Agency, citing local sources in the South, the frigate—which had been moving near Jask on Monday, violating maritime security and navigation rules in an attempt to transit the Strait of Hormuz—came under missile attack after ignoring warnings from the naval forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.The sources further report that as a result of these strikes, the US vessel was unable to continue its course and was forced to turn back and flee the area.The Islamic Republic of Iran had previously announced that any transit through the Strait of Hormuz without official permission from Iran is not possible, and that any disregard for this warning would be met with a decisive response from the armed forces.No further details regarding the extent of damage or possible casualties have been released yet.
