The Fars news agency, affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claims an Iranian missile struck a US Navy ship off the coast of Oman. The report is unverified by independent sources and no confirmation has been provided by the US military or Omani authorities.
The Fars news agency, linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, released a single-sentence claim at 13:43 Jerusalem time: an Iranian missile struck a US Navy vessel off the coast of Oman. The brief statement, published via Telegram, provides no details on the type of missile, the identity or damage status of the target, or any casualties.
This claim follows an earlier, similar report from an Iranian source within the same thread, which at 11:25 Jerusalem time alleged that a shell hit a cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman and that five crew members were rescued. That report was also unverified. The current claim shifts the target from a commercial vessel to a US warship.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10 at 18:17 Jerusalem, the Indian embassy in Oman confirmed that a vessel was struck in an incident off Oman's coast but did not attribute responsibility. Since June 5, the IRGC-linked channels have issued a series of escalating, unverified claims of strikes against US assets in the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz — including barrages of missiles, warning shots, and alleged hits on multiple military targets. None of these claims have been corroborated by US, Omani, or independent sources.
The desk assesses this report as a continuation of a Tehran-aligned information campaign, pending independent verification.
