What strikes did the U.S. military conduct in Iran?
this is a breaking news alert the united states military just conducted strikes in iran the strikes were conducted in the port of kashem at bandar abbas and in manab centcom is confirming state regime media which calls itself fox is confirming state regime media which calls itself cbs is confirming we're also hearing from the iranian revolutionary guard corps navy They're confirming that strikes took place by the United States, and Iran is saying that they responded with strikes at two Navy destroyers, which Iran says is now leaving the area after trying to come into the Strait of Hormuz. We are also hearing from various other Iranian news sources talking about retaliation now being expected from Iran.
Let's just go through some of the facts, folks, about what's taking place. So first, we got the news from state regime media Fox saying the United States military just carried out strikes on Iran's Kishin port in Bandar Abbas. Senior U.S. officials were telling Fox. Then CENTCOM posted the following. CENTCOM protects US warships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. US forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as US Navy guided missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz. to the Gulf of Oman on May 7th. Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones, and small boats at the USS Truxton, the USS Rafael Peralta, and the USS Mason, transiting this international sea passage.
No U.S. assets were struck, according to CENTCOM. Iran seems to suggest that some U.S. assets were indeed struck. CENTCOM eliminated inbound threats, according to CENTCOM, and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces, including missile and drone launch sites, command and control locations, and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance nodes. CENTCOM does not seek escalation, but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces. And that's what was stated by the Trump regime after these strikes. We just hit Iran, but we're not restarting the war. We don't want escalation, Iran. Let's take a look at what Iran is saying just went down. The Iranian Navy says the following to their regime media.
Following the violation of the ceasefire and the aggression by the terrorist U.S. military against an Iranian oil tanker near the port of Jask and the approach of warships belonging to the terrorist U.S.
How did Iran respond to the U.S. military strikes?
military toward the Strait of Hormuz, a very large-scale and precise combined operation was carried out. Various types of anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles were along with kamikaze drones equipped with high-explosive warheads, were launched towards enemy destroyers, those U.S. naval ships. Intelligence monitoring indicates significant damage to the American enemy and three invading enemy warships quickly fled the Strait of Hormuz area. Now, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesperson said the following. The aggressive terrorist and pirate U.S. military violated the ceasefire by targeting this Iranian oil tanker traveling from Iran's coastal waters near the Jask toward the Strait of Hormuz.
A very similar message. So what seems like what went down is two to three U.S. destroyers went into the Strait of Hormuz. Then the Iranian Navy saw these U.S. destroyers heading into the Strait of Hormuz, opened fire on the destroyers. The destroyers returned fire. Then there were strikes by the U.S. on the Keshem port, as well as in the Bandar Abbas area and in the Minab area. We know Minab as well because that's where the Trump regime massacred the little schoolgirls at the beginning of the war. And then there was open hostilities that took place here. According to Iran, the U.S. Navy destroyers then exited the Strait of Hormuz once they came under attack. Iran claims they caused damage. The U.S. says no damage was done to those destroyers.
Here's how state regime is now talking about it as Fox. A senior U.S. official tells me it was a U.S. military strike on Iran's Qashem port in Bandar Abbas moments ago, but added this is not a restarting of the war or an end to the ceasefire.
