The United States struck Iranian military targets on Thursday after Tehran’s forces attacked three American destroyers that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the US military said.
“Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats” at the three warships, but none were hit, the US military’s Central Command said in a post on X.
US forces “eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible” for the attack, it added.
