American forces responded to Iranian attacks on Navy destroyers as they were sailing in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, US Central Command said.

Iran’s assault on three US warships involved “multiple missiles, drones and small boats,” according to a Centcom statement, which added that “no US assets were struck.”
