Iran says it fired warning missiles and drones at US warships in Gulf of Oman

Iran’s navy said on Friday it had fired ​warning missiles and drones at ‌U.S. warships in the Gulf of Oman, accusing the U.S. Navy ​of harassing maritime traffic ​and seizing commercial vessels and oil ⁠tankers, Iranian state media ​reported. Earlier, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said ​U.S. forces had intercepted the sanctioned stateless vessel M/T DAVINA in the ​Indian Ocean overnight. “We will continue ​global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks ‌and ⁠interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate,” it said in a post ​on ​X. The exchange ⁠comes amid heightened tensions over maritime security around ​Iran, as Washington enforces ​sanctions ⁠on Iranian oil shipments and Tehran has repeatedly threatened shipping ⁠in ​and around the ​Strait of Hormuz.
