TEHRAN — Fars News Agency: Local news sources in southern Iran report that a U.S. Navy frigate was struck by two missiles today (Monday) after violating maritime security and navigation protocols near Jask while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
According to these sources, the engagement occurred after the American vessel ignored warnings issued by the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The reports indicate that the strikes disabled the frigate, preventing it from continuing its course and forcing it to retreat and flee the area.
🫶The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stated that any passage through the Strait of Hormuz is prohibited without official authorization from Iran, emphasizing that any disregard for such warnings will be met with a decisive response from the Armed Forces.
As of this reporting, no further details regarding the extent of the damage or potential casualties have been released.
