Washington: (RightNow) A US naval ship near the Strait of Hormuz was targeted by Iranian drones and missiles. Several crew members on the ship were injured in the attack.

Reports indicate that four Iranian drones and at least one missile were involved in the attack. A few individuals sustained minor injuries, and some experienced breathing difficulties due to smoke. The injured were promptly transferred for medical treatment.

Further details of the incident and independent verification of the weapons used in the attack are not yet available. The US military has not released a detailed statement on the incident so far.

This incident occurs amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, which have jeopardized the passage of commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Recently, there has been a significant decrease in the number of ships passing through the area.

It is important to note that the Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the world’s most critical energy and trade routes. Any new attacks here could further threaten global oil supply and maritime trade.
