US Vs Iran War: Iran Strikes US Military Ships With Drone
Iran has fired drone at the United States military vessels to retaliate US forces striking and intercepting an Iranian ship.
Iranian local media, the semi-official news agency, Tasnim, made this known on Sunday.
The local media reported that after US forces boarded the container ship TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, Iranian drones were launched against American vessels, without specifying whether the targets were military or commercial.
Iran had confirmed earlier that US forces seized the Iranian vessel, warning that it would retaliate soon following the move.
“The drone attacks were carried out in direct retaliation for the earlier US action against the Iranian-flagged vessel,” the local media said.
According to Fars News Agency, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said US forces had targeted the vessel, disabled its navigation system and boarded it after what it described as a ceasefire violation.
Meanwhile, Iranian military spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari confirmed that the US forces opened fire at the vessel before boarding it.
US President Donald Trump first announced the incident on Sunday and later confirmed by US Central Command, CENTCOM.
