🇮🇷🇺🇸| ❗️BREAKING: Iran targeted US warship with 2 missiles after it ignored Iran’s warnings — Fars

Iran fired 2 missiles at an American patrol boat following Iran's warning.

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.
