‼️ IRAN CLAIMS RETALIATORY ACTIONS AGAINST U.S. NAVAL FORCES IN HORMUZ: Reports state Iran rejected a U.S. proposal regarding reopening the Strait of Hormuz and is demanding compensation for war damages.
A senior Iranian military official told IRIB: “After an American attack on an Iranian oil tanker, we launched missiles at enemy units in Hormuz.”
Tasnim News Agency reported that explosions heard in Sirik County in southern Iran were linked to IRGC Navy operations warning ships not to cross the Strait of Hormuz without authorization.
“Making the same mistake again and again won’t get you a different answer; only a stronger one. Respect the new Maritime Regime of Iran,” said Ebrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s National Security Commission.
Iranian state media claimed U.S. warships were targeted after allegedly attempting to attack an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian media later stated there was no confirmation of an airstrike on Qeshm Island or Iranian ports. Instead, military sources claimed clashes occurred between the IRGC Navy and U.S. naval forces in the Strait of Hormuz following an earlier reported American attack on an Iranian cargo vessel.
Separate reports also claimed two American intelligence and reconnaissance drones were shot down by Iranian air defenses near Abadan port.
