Iran claims US warship struck by missiles in Strait of Hormuz, no independent confirmation

Iranian state media claimed a US warship was struck by missiles in the Strait of Hormuz, but independent verification is lacking. This incident follows heightened tensions due to recent comments by Donald Trump regarding a planned US operation, with Iran warning against US naval presence and urging vessels to avoid the area. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical maritime corridor, and the latest claims are adding to an already volatile situation concerning navigation safety and energy market stability.
