Exclusive: IRGC Locked 16 Cruise Missiles on US Warships in Strait of Hormuz Before They Retreated

In new details of last week’s operation in the Strait of Hormuz, Press TV has learned that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy locked more than a dozen cruise missiles onto aggressive US warships moments before they hastily retreated.

Press TV obtained the new information during follow-up investigations of the April 11 confrontation between IRGC naval forces and the US military in the strategic waterway.

According to Press TV’s findings, after the American warships – the USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) and the USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121) – failed to heed initial warnings from Iranian naval forces, the IRGC Navy locked 16 cruise missiles onto the vessels.
