Accounts differ on whether Iranian naval forces launched an attack on U.S. destroyers in the Persian Gulf. According to Bluesky, the Iranian Navy fired a Qader anti-ship cruise missile and a Shahid Danaye loitering munition at the USS Truxton and USS Mason as they attempted to enter the Persian Gulf. CBS News reported that three U.S. Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz came under attack by Iranian missiles, drones, and small boats. Stripes.com reported that USS Truxton and USS Mason faced Iranian missiles, drones, and fast-attack boats in a coordinated attack, with defensive measures underpinned by air support deterring each threat. Iranian state media, as reported by Stripes.com, claimed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit an unidentified U.S. warship with two missiles. However, U.S. Central Command denied reports that Truxton and USS Mason had been attacked, and posted on X that 'no U.S. ships have' been struck. CBS News reported that the USS Truxton, USS Mason, and USS Rafael Peralta were not struck during the attack. U.S. Central Command denied the attacks on Truxton and Mason, but CBS News reported that U.S. Central Command confirmed attacks on U.S. destroyers and said the U.S. military responded with 'self-defense strikes' on Iranian facilities, including drone and missile launch sites. According to ABC News, three Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy speedboats approached the USS Firebolt and the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Baranoff in the northern Persian Gulf, coming as close as 68 yards to both ships with unknown intent. U.S. crews issued multiple warnings via radio and loud-hailer devices, but the Iranian vessels continued their maneuvers. ABC News also reported that a U.S. Navy warship fired warning shots at three Iranian speedboats that came within 70 yards of it and a Coast Guard cutter operating in international waters. NavalNews.com reported that the United States military has inflicted significant damage to Iran’s naval capabilities with the confirmed sinking of multiple major vessels as part of Operation Epic Fury.
