Iran’s Fars news agency is reporting that a US warship intending to pass through the strait of Hormuz was turned back after ignoring a warning from Iran’s navy, citing local sources.

The report, which we have not yet been able to independently verify, said that two missiles hit a US navy frigate sailing through the waterway in what Iran deemed a violation of “traffic and shipping security” near Jask island.

Iran’s military has warned the US navy to stay out of the strait after Donald Trump said the US will “help free up” ships stuck in the strategic waterway from today.

The US president called the operation a “humanitarian gesture”, with many of the vessels running low on food.
