Iran navy fired cruise missile 'warning shot' near US destroyers in Hormuz: State TV

The Iranian navy fired cruise missiles, rockets, and combat drones near U.S. destroyers crossing the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, state television reported.

It said the navy had identified U.S. destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz and fired multiple warning shots, adding, "following the Zionist American destroyers' disregard for the initial warning, the Navy issued a warning shot by firing cruise missiles, rockets, and combat drones around the aggressor enemy vessels".

The U.S. military, meanwhile, said two guided-missile destroyers had entered the Gulf.
