The sources said the destroyers belonging to the “terrorist US force” were retreating toward the Sea of Oman after Iran’s attack.

The sources said the attacks on the hostile US destroyers were carried out using missiles and suicide drones.

CBS News also reported that three US Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz came under attack on Thursday, adding that the US carried out strikes on two Iranian ports near the strait.

According to the report, the American destroyers USS Truxton, USS Mason, and USS Rafael Peralta were attacked by Iranian missiles, drones, and small boats.

The US military’s Central Command confirmed the attacks in a statement and claimed that the US military responded with “self-defense strikes” on Iranian facilities.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy has stated that Iranian military forces used “various types of ballistic and anti-ship cruise missiles and destructive drones with high-explosive warheads” in response to the US violations of the ceasefire.
