US EditionUS Military Sinks 6 Iranian Boats Targeting Civilian Ships in Strait of Hormuz, Officials Say
U.S. forces said they also intercepted cruise missiles and drones as 50 commercial vessels were redirected to keep shipping moving, officials said.
- On Monday, U.S. Central Command forces sank six Iranian small boats and intercepted cruise missiles and drones while launching 'Project Freedom' to clear the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping.
- This operation follows an April 13 U.S. naval blockade that restricted Iranian ports, a months-long closure that spiked global fuel prices and rattled international energy markets.
- CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper deployed 15,000 troops and over 100 aircraft, stating the mission provides "a very clear defense to commercial shipping." Cooper "strongly advised" Iranian forces to stay clear of U.S. military assets.
- Iranian missile and drone strikes simultaneously hit the United Arab Emirates , igniting a fire at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, while an explosion damaged a South Korean cargo ship HMM Namu with 24 crew members aboard.
- Iran claims the U.S. effort violates a fragile ceasefire held since early April, while the U.S. military denies Iranian allegations that any American ships were struck during the engagement.
