\nIran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards say missiles struck US aircraft carrier, destroyer
\nIran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on early Sunday that it targeted a US aircraft carrier and a navy destroyer with ballistic missiles, claiming both were damaged and withdrew from the area.
\nThe IRGC said in a statement published by IRNA news agency that its Aerospace Force launched the missiles at the two warships.
\nIt claimed the vessels had harassed Iranian ships and were taking part in a maritime blockade, adding that both warships left the \u201cengagement area\u201d after sustaining damage.
\nThe IRGC said the US military\u2019s Central Command (CENTCOM) acknowledged that two navy warships were targeted, describing its statement as confirmation of the operation.
\nIt also warned that continued US military action would draw \u201cheavier\u201d responses from Iran\u2019s armed forces.
\nIn a separate statement early Sunday, the IRGC said its navy attacked a remotely operated US military vessel that it claimed was attempting to enter a protected area of the Strait of Hormuz.
\nThe IRGC did not provide details about the type of attack or whether the vessel was damaged.
\nThe Guards also reiterated Tehran\u2019s position that the Strait of Hormuz is under Iranian management and said the US should leave the region.
\nEarlier on Saturday, the IRGC Navy said it targeted three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and three US-linked vessels elsewhere in response to American attacks on Iranian tankers.
\nCENTCOM said Iran launched ballistic missiles toward two US Navy warships patrolling regional waters, and that both vessels evaded the attacks, with no American personnel harmed.
\nIt said US forces subsequently struck three Iranian crude oil tankers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
