🔻NBC U.S., citing three officials of the U.S. government, says that eight Marines were “injured” in Iran’s missile attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

These three sources told NBC that American servicemen were on the ship during Iran’s attack on September 14 (23 Shahrivar).

They did not specify the type of vessel, but said that the vessel was not an American warship.

During the latest military clashes between Iran and the U.S., CENTCOM described some of its attacks as due to Iran’s efforts to target American warships, even though it said that none of the U.S. Army’s vessels were damaged during these efforts.

A commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps had also claimed a few days earlier that Iranian military forces had managed

for the first time to detonate a projectile above an American warship.

In NBC U.S.’s report, the details of the eight injured American personnel are as follows:
