Two missiles hit US Navy vessel after it ignored Iran’s warning: Report – SUCH TV

Two missiles have struck a US Navy vessel near the strategic Strait of Hormuz after it ignored warnings from Iran’s naval forces, according to a report.

Fars News Agency reported that the American warship was moving in the vicinity of Jask port on Monday with the intention of transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, in violation of maritime security protocols.

The vessel reportedly disregarded multiple warnings issued by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s naval forces before being targeted.

According to the report, the US vessel suffered damage from the strikes, forcing it to abandon its course and retreat from the area.

The Islamic Republic of Iran had previously announced that any transit through the Strait of Hormuz without official authorization from Iran is not permitted, and that any disregard for this warning would be met with a decisive response from the country’s armed forces.

As of the time of this report, no further details have been released regarding the extent of damage or possible casualties.

Earlier on Monday Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Major General Ali Abdollahi warned that any foreign armed forces — particularly the aggressive US military — will be attacked if they attempt to approach or enter the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump claimed in recent remarks that US will be “liberating the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz.”

He further claimed that these actions would begin this morning, Monday, according to Middle Eastern time.

Since February 28, when the US and Israel launched their military assault, Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas tankers affiliated with both regimes, as well as those cooperating with them, in an attempt to maintain security at the strategic waterway.
