“Three U.S. Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz came under attack on Thursday, enduring what American officials described as a fiercer and more sustained Iranian assault than the barrage that two of the warships faced only days earlier.
The destroyers USS Truxtun, USS Mason and USS Rafael Peralta were attacked by missiles, drones and small boats, U.S. Central Command confirmed in a statement. The U.S. military responded by targeting Iranian facilities, including drone and missile launch sites in what Central Command described as “self-defense strikes.”
The destroyers 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, U.S. officials told CBS News under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.”
