Two Iranian missiles reportedly hit a US Navy frigate in the Strait of Hormuz after Iran claimed the vessel ignored a warning. The frigate, accused of breaching traffic and shipping security near Jask, was allegedly targeted by an Iranian missile attack. Following the warning dismissal, the frigate was forced to retreat from the area, according to reports from the Fars news agency. Specifics regarding the extent of damage and potential casualties remain unconfirmed at this time. This incident occurred shortly after President Donald Trump announced the initiation of American forces escorting ships from nations unrelated to the conflict through the Strait of Hormuz, citing benefits for Iran, the Middle East, and the United States. The President did not specify the countries he referred to in his statement.
