Iranian forces reportedly fired missiles and drones at the USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason as the ships transited the strait.
No US assets were reportedly struck.
The US military eliminated the inbound threats, and fired at the Iranian military facilities responsible for the attack.
Missile and drone launch sites, as well as command and control locations, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes were targeted.
