Iran says two missiles struck US warship near Jask
Iran's Fars News Agency and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said IRGC naval units fired two missiles that struck a U.S. Navy patrol boat near Jask Island as it entered the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian media said the patrol boat ignored repeated Iranian warnings, was hit, and was forced to turn back from the area. State outlets framed the strike as retaliation after President Donald Trump announced 'Project Freedom' to escort stranded commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The incident raises the risk of direct military confrontation in a vital global shipping chokepoint and U.S. officials have not confirmed the Iranian account.
