Iranian missiles force US aggressors to flee Strait of Hormuz after tanker attack

Iranian naval and missile forces have delivered a swift and precise response to yet another act of US aggression in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing enemy units to flee after sustaining damage, according to reports.

A senior Iranian military official confirmed to the state media IRIB on Thursday night that following the unprovoked attack by US military aircraft on an Iranian oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, attacking enemy units operating in the Strait of Hormuz came under intense Iranian missile fire.

The aggressor forces suffered direct hits and were compelled to retreat in disarray.

“The attacking enemy units in the Strait of Hormuz came under Iranian missile fire and were forced to flee after suffering damage,” the official stated, underscoring that Iran’s armed forces remain fully prepared to neutralize any threat to the Islamic Republic’s territorial waters and vital maritime routes.
