US Strikes Iran’s Qeshm Port and Bandar Abbas

Iran fired on US ships in Strait of Hormuz; ‘They are led by LUNATICS’

The missile and drone attacks were all successfully intercepted.

CENTCOM: U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7. Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes (CENTCOM).

President Trump: Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave! …  Iran Fires on US Ships in Strait of Hormuz (Truth).

A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire. The strike on one of Iran’s oil ports comes two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at UAE Fujairah Port, eliciting anger from Gulf countries after top Pentagon leaders said Tuesday that the Iranian strikes did not rise to the level of breaking the ceasefire, calling it low level attacks that didn’t rise to that level. President Trump abruptly called off Project Freedom to open the Strait of Hormuz and guide ships through the strait after announcing the start of the military operation on Sunday. @NBCNews @ckubeNBC was first to report that Saudi Arabia had blocked air space usage for Project Freedom leading to President Trump’s reversal on Project Freedom. A senior US official confirms to me the @wsj_com reporting from today that the Saudis and Kuwaitis reversed course after abruptly halting permission for the US to use its bases and air space for Project Freedom, a decision that this official confirmed has been reversed. Saudi officials reportedly were angry at the Pentagon downplaying the Iranian strikes on Monday (Griffin).
