2 missiles hit US warship near Hormuz after 'ignoring IRGC warnings': Iranian media
Iran’s Fars news agency, citing local sources, reports that two missiles have hit a US frigate near Jask island after it ignored warnings from the IRGC and disregarded “security protocols” for transit in the Strait of Hormuz.
“According to these sources, the American frigate has been prevented from continuing its course due to these strikes and has been forced to retreat and flee the area,” Fars claimed.
It added that there were no further details at the moment about any damages or any casualties.
...(continue)... The US patrol boat was moving near Jask Island violating security and navigation rules intending to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Navy issued warnings which the boat ignored, thus got targeted by a missile attack.
As of the time of this report, no further details about the extent of damages or possible casualties have been released.
It would be a real problem for Iran, if missiles targeted and missed a warship(or were successfully countered), as that negates the value of military deterrence based on military capability and opens the window for Trump to think he can get away with a military confrontation to open the straits if he thinks Iran's capabilities are not good enough.
