“US forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect their forces from threats posed by Iranian forces. The targets included missile launchers and Iranian boats“, Fox News journalist Jennifer Griffin quoted Hawkins as saying in X.
CENTCOM claims that the boats attacked by the US military were trying to lay mines. According to the Fox News journalist, the attack destroyed two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats near Bandar Abbas, as well as a missile launcher.
