🔻Majid Ibn al-Ridha, the acting head of Iran’s Ministry of Defense, has claimed that the country’s military forces are capable of targeting U.S. warships.

Over the past few days, Iranian officials have claimed that they were able to attack two warships of the U.S. fleet in the Persian Gulf by using anti-ship weapons.

Yesterday, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said that within the past 48 hours, Iranian military forces have been able to: “For the first time, we tested an Iranian destroyer-killer missile over an American warship. This particular missile created a hell for Americans, and they fled.”

The U.S. Central Command—CENTCOM—yesterday, in a post published on the X network, implicitly referred to the attack on its two ships and wrote: “Let the IRGC be clear on this: if you fire on our two ships, we will impose an even more severe economic cost on you and we will destroy your three ships. We will have no hesitation in defending American forces, and if necessary, we will destroy the limited and vulnerable tanker fleet of Iran.”
