The United States says it has carried out actions against Iranian forces during ongoing military maneuvers in the region. According to NDTV and Mint, US Admiral Brad Cooper states that the US destroyed six Iranian small boats and shot down several missiles and drones. Both outlets report that Cooper frames the operation as occurring after the US issued a warning to Iranian personnel to avoid US military assets. NDTV and Mint both cite Cooper saying he “strongly advised” Iranian forces or personnel to remain at a distance from US military hardware while the operation is underway. The reports do not describe further operational details such as the precise location, timing, or the broader context of the confrontation, beyond the stated destruction of small boats and the interception of missiles and drones. The two accounts are aligned on the core claims: six Iranian small boats are destroyed, multiple missiles and drones are shot down, and a warning to keep away from US military assets precedes or accompanies the actions.
