Tonight's events began with the terrorist US army's aggression against an Iranian oil tanker, followed by missile and drone attacks by the Iranian Navy targeting US military vessels.

The invading, terrorist, and robber American army violated the ceasefire by targeting an Iranian oil tanker ship moving from Iranian coastal waters in the Jask region towards the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another ship entering the Strait of Hormuz, opposite the port of Fujairah, UAE. At the same time, they carried out air assaults on civilian areas with the cooperation of some regional countries on the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island.

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately retaliated by attacking American military vessels in the eastern Strait of Hormuz and south of the port of Chabahar, causing significant damage to them.

The criminal and invading America and its supporting countries must know that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as in the past, powerfully and without the slightest hesitation, responds decisively to any aggression and invasion.

Following the ceasefire violation and the aggression of the US terrorist army against an Iranian oil tanker near Bandar Jask and the approach of the US terrorist army destroyers to the Strait of Hormuz, a very large and precise combined operation was carried out using various ballistic and anti-ship cruise missiles and explosive warhead attack drones fired at the enemy destroyers.

Intelligence monitoring indicates significant damage to the American enemy, and three invading enemy ships quickly fled the Strait of Hormuz area.

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

U.S. destroyers face second round of Iranian attacks

Two U.S. Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz came under renewed attack on Thursday, enduring what American officials described as a fiercer and more sustained Iranian assault than the barrage the warships faced only days earlier.

The destroyers USS Truxtun and USS Mason came under an intense Iranian assault as swarms of Iranian fast-attack boats maneuvered close enough that American warships opened fire to keep them at bay, the U.S. officials told CBS News under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Iranian forces also launched drones and missiles during the confrontation, the officials said.

Over several hours, the American warships and supporting aircraft mounted a layered defense.

Despite the intensity of the attacks, neither U.S. vessel was struck.
