US-Iran war LIVE: Iran fires several ballistic missiles at US aircraft carrier, destroyer harassing Iranian ships

According to a report from Mint, the Aerospace Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Saturday that it launched several ballistic missiles targeting a US aircraft carrier and a destroyer. The Iranian statement alleges that these warships had been harassing Iranian vessels and participating in a naval blockade in the region.

As of this time, there has been no independent confirmation of these claims from the United States Department of Defense or international maritime security agencies operating in the Persian Gulf. The report remains unverified, as no evidence of damage to US assets or official acknowledgement of such an engagement has been provided by Western military sources.

This development follows a period of heightened tensions in the region, with Iran recently warning of a 'faster, heavier, and more painful response' to US actions. Given the potential for significant geopolitical escalation, the lack of corroborating evidence from neutral observers or US officials suggests that the claim should be treated with caution until further details emerge from verified military channels.
