US says it intercepted Iranian attacks, launched strikes in Hormuz
The US Central Command says American forces intercepted what it described as Iranian attacks and carried out retaliatory strikes while naval vessels moved through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday.
In a statement, Centcom said Iranian forces launched a coordinated assault using “multiple missiles, drones and small boats” as US Navy destroyers USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Pe
So the USS Truxtun and Rafael Peralta were targeted with missiles, drones, AND small boats? That’s a serious escalation from Iran. Glad CENTCOM intercepted them.
Retaliatory strikes in the Strait of Hormuz again? This is how a wider war starts. We need de-escalation, not more muscle-flexing.
Coordinated assault with multiple missiles and drones? Sounds like Iran is testing our Navy’s defenses. Hope the crew of the Truxtun and Peralta are okay.
I wonder what triggered this specific attack on Thursday. The article doesn’t say what happened before, but Iran doesn’t just launch drones and missiles out of the blue.
