US warships in the Middle East have been targeted by Iranian cruise missiles, according to unverified reports. Pro-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps media claims 10 anti-ship missiles were fired at US ships in the Gulf of Oman.
There are also unconfirmed reports of explosions in the southern Iranian town of Sirik. Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported an “enemy” strike on the port city in Hormozgan province.
He said the attack targeted a military site, without providing further details. Not all reports are verified at this point.
On Monday, Donald Trump said further attacks on Iran were “highly unlikely.” The US president said “Iran is indeed defeated militarily” and claimed there was “positive momentum” behind talks aimed at ending the war.
“We are just maintaining the status quo,” he told reporters. “And we are really doing it at the request of the countries that are their neighbors.”
Although he said he did not expect further strikes against Iran, Mr Trump said US forces were “locked and loaded” if anything changed. A third American aircraft carrier is currently heading to the Middle East.
Meanwhile, the Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen announced that it had shot down Houthi drones targeting the Riyadh area. The Houthi rebels are supported by Iran.
On Wednesday, a senior Iranian official threatened to strike US bases in Europe if America launched further strikes against Iran. Iranian Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezae has warned that any base from which US planes take off risks being targeted.
“If the Americans make a mistake and attack us, we will not limit ourselves to nearby bases,” he was quoted as saying. “We could even target some US military bases in European countries. »
Bases in Britain, such as RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, have been used by US forces to launch strikes against Iran.
