Eight U.S. soldiers hurt in Iranian attack
NBC News has confirmed that Iran targeted a U.S. vessel in the Strait of Hormuz two weeks ago, on September 14, with a cruise missile. The attack resulted in light injuries to eight U.S. Navy personnel and damage caused by the blast’s smoke. Despite this, the soldiers later returned to their duties. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic chokepoint for global energy supplies, and Iran and Saudi Arabia have disagreements over managing maritime traffic there. Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated recently following an Iranian attack on an American ship and reciprocal military movements. In February, the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran, to which Tehran responded with attacks on Israel and American sites in the region.
