US says ‘downed’ multiple Iranian drones targeting commercial ships in Hormuz

US forces have “downed” several Iranian drones targeting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the military said late Friday.

“Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz,” US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees operations in the region, posted on X.

CENTCOM insisted that the strait “remains open for transit.”[AFP]

    1. El Ejército de Estados Unidos derribó varios drones iraníes que, al parecer, intentaban atacar buques mercantes en el estrecho de Ormuz, consta en un comunicado del Comando Central de las Fuerzas Armadas de EE.UU. (CENTCOM).

      "Irán ha lanzado varios drones de ataque de acción unilateral en un intento de atacar a buques mercantes que transitaban por el estrecho de Ormuz. Las fuerzas estadounidenses han derribado todos los drones en las últimas horas, y el tráfico marítimo por el estrecho continúa sin obstáculos. El corredor comercial internacional permanece abierto al tránsito", reza el texto de CENTCOM en su página de X.

      Anteriormente, una fuente de la agencia Reuters informó que EE.UU. había derribado varios drones que se dirigían al estrecho de Ormuz.

  3. Mehr News confirms the IRGC Navy opened fire on vessels attempting to leave the strait without Tehran's authorization. The sound of an explosion was heard earlier near Sirik, southern Iran.

    Iran is enforcing the closure of the Strait with live fire — any ship is a potential target until a deal with US is reached.
