Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Saturday that it launched several ballistic missiles at a US aircraft carrier and a US Navy destroyer. The group accused the American vessels of harassing Iranian ships and enforcing a naval blockade against Iranian ports.
The claim emerges amid intensifying hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, following the US military’s assertion that it destroyed three Iranian crude oil tankers. Washington stated these strikes were in retaliation for earlier attacks on US warships in the region.
The escalating exchanges have heightened fears of a broader conflict in the strategically vital waterway, where both sides continue to trade accusations and military actions.
