01 · THE DISPATCH

Iran launched at least two anti-ship cruise missiles and an unspecified number of drones targeting US Navy vessels in the Sea of Oman, according to a report. The report follows an earlier unconfirmed account at 03:38 Jerusalem of multiple anti-ship missiles fired at US warships in the region, adding further specificity to the ongoing incident. The type of drones and the status of the US vessels—whether any interceptions or impacts occurred—have not been reported. The launch is the latest in a series of naval confrontations between US and Iranian forces in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz in recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on warning shots, cruise missile launches, and US airstrikes on Iran's coast as part of the escalating exchanges. No independent confirmation of the launch is available at this time.
