US Shoots Down Iranian Drones Targeting Ships in Strait of Hormuz
The US military shot down two Iranian attack drones that were targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a US defense official, amid President Trump's public criticism of Iran's continued targeting of ships.
The US military intercepted and destroyed two Iranian attack drones that were targeting commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz last night, a US defense official confirmed. The incident follows President Donald Trump's public criticism of Iran for ongoing aggression against shipping in the strategic waterway.
No damage or casualties were reported. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, and any military escalation there raises concerns about supply disruptions.
