Iranian state media reports that U.S. naval units in the Strait of Hormuz came under missile fire after a U.S. military action against an Iranian oil tanker. According to the reports, Iranian officials said the U.S. vessels were operating in the area when they were hit and were forced to retreat after sustaining damage. The accounts cite an unnamed Iranian military official, and the timing of the incident is not specified in the available summaries.
The reports also describe an Iranian attack involving U.S. warships near the Strait of Hormuz. Tasnim, a semi-official Iranian news agency, said three U.S. destroyers were targeted by the Iranian navy. While the Iranian media link the missile fire to the earlier U.S. attack on the tanker, the summaries do not include statements from the United States or independent verification of damage, the number of missiles used, or confirmation of the timing and exact circumstances of the engagement.
