The United States reports that it has destroyed six Iranian small boats and shot down multiple missiles and drones launched by Iran toward US Navy and commercial vessels. A top US admiral made the announcement on Monday, describing the action as part of an encounter in the region, with sources citing the Strait of Hormuz in describing the location. According to the reports, Iranian forces fire missiles and drones at vessels, and US forces respond by intercepting and downing the unmanned systems and missiles before or during the engagement. The US also says it successfully disabled or destroyed six of the small Iranian boats involved. The accounts are consistent across outlets: they attribute the incident to Iran’s attempt to target US Navy and shipping, and they credit the US response with both the destruction of the boats and the downing of the missiles and drones. The reports do not provide further operational detail, casualty figures, or additional independent verification beyond the US admiral’s statement.
