U.S. naval destroyers have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM says - CBS News
Overview
U.S. Central Command said two destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to begin mine‑clearing operations. CENTCOM’s later statement adds that U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and conducted self‑defense strikes during the transit, contradicting earlier reports that the passage was incident‑free. The deployment is part of broader U.S. maritime measures intended to protect commercial shipping after reports of Iranian mine‑laying and other regional disruptions.
