The US military reported destroying two small Iranian boats that attempted to steal a drone ship. According to Capt. Tim Hawkins, a US Central Command spokesman, the Iranian boats tried to take possession of a US unmanned surface vessel but were unsuccessful due to a forceful response from CENTCOM.
Iranian state media reported an attack on fishing boats in Hormozgan province, with several fishermen missing. This incident is part of a larger conflict, with both sides seeking control over the Strait of Hormuz. The US has recently made gains in loosening Iran's grip on the critical energy shipping corridor.
Further details on the incident are available from the US military and other sources. The conflict between the US and Iran has been ongoing for over six months.
