Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Navy confirms Tasnim's report in a statement, saying it launched attacks on US destroyers near the Strait of Hormuz and accusing Washington of violating the ceasefire with attack against an Iranian oil tanker near the port of Jask.

In a statement, the force said it carried out a “large-scale and precise combined operation” using anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles as well as explosive drones.
