Iran has launched an attack against US naval vessels in the Persian Gulf, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal cited by Ynet and Walla. The attack reportedly came in response to strikes on Iranian oil tankers, with Iranian state media reporting explosions heard on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf.

No US vessels were damaged in the incident, but Washington has expressed concern over Iran’s use of advanced missiles and the possibility that China or Russia are providing Tehran with intelligence on ship locations. Iranian military officials have threatened to strike American interests throughout the Middle East if Iranian vessels are attacked.

The incident marks an escalation in regional tensions, with Iran’s unified military command warning of a forceful response to any further attacks on Iranian shipping or military assets in the strategic waterway.
