Iran army fires ‘warning missiles’ at US destroyers in Gulf of Oman

On Friday, the Iranian army announced that it had launched “warning missiles” at two U.S. destroyers operating in the Gulf of Oman, prompting the American vessels to withdraw from the area, according to state media.

In a statement released by the state news agency IRNA, the army said: “In continuation of operations to counter maritime misconduct and harassment, as well as the hijacking of commercial vessels and oil tankers by the terrorist naval forces of the United States, following the firing of warning missiles, the hostile destroyers DDG‑103 and DDG‑8 have left the Gulf of Oman towards the Indian Ocean.”
