Iran claims strike on unmanned US vessel in Strait of Hormuz
Iran says the alleged strike occurred as fighting with the United States escalated, but the claim has not been independently confirmed.
Iran said on Sunday that it struck an unmanned US vessel attempting to enter the Strait of Hormuz, according to France 24 International.
The claim comes amid what the source described as a new flare-up in fighting between Iran and the United States. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically important waterway.
Iran did not identify the vessel or provide details of its alleged mission. The available information also does not establish the extent of any damage or whether there were casualties.
The precise time and location of the alleged strike remain unclear. No independent confirmation of Iran’s account was provided in the source material.
