CENTCOM SAYS IRAN ATTACKED U.S. AIRCRAFT CARRIER AND DESTROYER NEAR STRAIT OF HORMUZ
According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Iranian forces attacked a U.S. aircraft carrier and a destroyer in or near the Strait of Hormuz, marking a major escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran.
A U.S. response is widely expected following the reported attack, although details regarding the extent of any damage or casualties have not yet been confirmed.
Iran has become increasingly active in what could signal a renewed and potentially wider phase of the conflict, raising fears of further military escalation across the strategically vital Gulf region.
