Iran's armed forces responded by attacking US military vessels, "reportedly inflicting significant damage on them,"

Iran targets three US destroyers near strait of Hormuz, Iranian media reports
Three US Navy destroyers near the strait of Hormuz have been targeted by the Iranian navy, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reports.

It comes after an earlier report from Iran’s state broadcaster that “enemy units” operating in the area of the strait came under Iranian missile fire, following an attack by the US military on an Iranian oil tanker, forcing the units to retreat.

It follows a US jet disabling an Iranian oil tanker on Wednesday after it attempted to evade the US blockade.

Well, here we go again:

Air defences activated in Tehran and more explosions heard in southern Iran
Iran’s Mehr news agency reports that air defences have been activated in western Tehran “countering hostile targets”.

Mehr also said another explosion had been heard in Bandar Abbas, along with an explosion heard in Minab, to the east of Bandar Abbas. Both areas lie north of the strait of Hormuz. Guardian live feed

Take news from both sides with a grain of salt as I'm sure everyone already knows, bet there is some serious money being made with insider trading on the wall street epstein war today
