Iranian sources report multiple missiles have been fired at US warships in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a single-source report on Telegram. The report is preliminary and unverified; no details on interceptions, impacts, or casualties are yet available. The incident follows hours of ongoing exchanges between US forces and the IRGC in the same area.
A single Arabic-language the source reports that Iran has launched missiles targeting US Navy warships in the Strait of Hormuz, early Thursday morning Jerusalem time. The report, disseminated via a known network covering Iran and the Arab world, is preliminary and unverified. No information has emerged on the number of missiles, any interceptions, or impacts.
This is the latest in a chain of exchanges between the IRGC and US forces that has escalated over recent days. As The Zioneer has reported, on June 11 Iranian-linked sources described "fresh exchanges of fire with the US Navy" in the same waterway. Earlier, on June 10-11, reports from both sides described converging cruise missile strikes, US airstrikes on Iran's southern coast, and IRGC threats to close the Strait to shipping. The report joins a series of unverified claims from multiple Telegram-based sources, and the picture remains fragmentary. No official confirmation from the US military or Iranian state media has appeared at this hour.
