At least five people have been killed in a US attack on two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted a military source as saying.
According to the source, the vessels carrying civilian cargo were traveling from the Omani port of Khasab to the coast of Iran. The incident became known after checking reports that the United States had sunk several Iranian boats.
“This hasty and clumsy behaviour by the enemy stems from the excessive fear and nightmare of the US military regarding the IRGC’s fast-boat operations,” Tasnim quoted the military official as saying.
Earlier, the Associated Press agency cited commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper as saying that US military helicopters sank six small Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran denied it, saying that not a single Iranian Navy vessel was sunk by the United States on Monday.

A military official told the Tasnim news agency that, after US reports of the attacks, an investigation was carried out by Iranian authorities, who found that US forces had “attacked and fired upon two small cargo boats carrying civilians that were moving from Khasab on the coast of Oman towards the Iranian coast”.
