U.S. military says it intercepted Iranian attacks on 3 Navy ships in Strait of Hormuz

Children play in the water along the shore as a mix of bulk carriers, cargo ships, and service vessels sit offshore in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas, Iran, Sunday.

The U.S. military also says that it “targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces.” The exchange occurred Thursday as U.S. Navy destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said in a social media post.
