Iran BOMBS U.S Warships BREAKING: USS Truxtun and USS Mason Under Attack in Hormuz Escorting Vessels

In a dramatic escalation between the United States and Iran, two U.S. Navy destroyers—the USS Truxtun and USS Mason—came under coordinated attack while escorting American-flagged commercial vessels. According to CBS News, the warships faced a barrage of threats, including drones, missiles, and Iranian fast boats attempting to disrupt their passage. Backed by Apache helicopters and air support, U.S. forces responded with precision—intercepting or deterring every incoming threat. The United States Central Command confirmed that several Iranian boats were destroyed during the encounter. Despite the intensity of the assault, both destroyers completed their transit without damage, and no U.S. casualties were reported. The high-stakes confrontation highlights rising tensions in a waterway critical to nearly 20% of global oil flow.
