Iranian Regime Claims Two-Missile Strike on US Warship Near Jask Island, Blocks Hormuz Entry

04/05/2026

TEHRAN, May 4: Iranian forces prevented US naval vessels from entering the Strait of Hormuz on Monday after issuing what it described as a “firm and rapid warning,” according to state media reports.

Separately, media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that two missiles struck a US warship near Jask Island after it allegedly ignored Iranian warnings while approaching the strait. Citing local sources, the report said the vessel was unable to continue its course and was forced to withdraw from the area.

The claims have not been independently verified, and there has been no immediate confirmation or response from US officials. The reported incident comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with increased military activity around key maritime routes.
