The state media that a U.S. warship has turned back from the area of the Strait of Hormuz

and that, according to Iran's navy, it's prevented the entry of U.S. warships into the Hormuz area,

according to state television, going on to add that two missiles hit a U.S. warship

near Jask Island after it ignored Iranian warnings. Now, this is being reported by

Fars News Agency. That's state media in Iran. I cannot, at this moment, independently verify

that for you. But this is what we're hearing from the Iranians. We've not had any response as yet

from the Americans or the White House or Donald Trump on Truth Social. I'm sure we will either

get their version of events or a counterclaim in due course. But at the moment, at this time,

Iran is claiming via state media, the Fars News Agency, that two missiles have hit a U.S. warship

near Jask Island after that warship allegedly ignored Iranian warnings. It says, according to

local sources, Fars News Agency, the warship turned back from the area and Iran's navy is being cited

as saying by state media that it's prevented the entry of warships in the Strait of Hormuz area.

That's according to details being broadcast on state television. This comes, of course,

as Donald Trump has said that the United States would look to undertake an operation that would

ease the passage of the commercial vessels through the Strait. If you look at this map,

we're showing you at the moment, the Strait of Hormuz is that kind of peak of the curve there

between Oman and the coastline of Iran. On either side of those dots are the vessels that are

at anchor. Donald Trump's saying that 15,000 U.S. troops will be utilised to enable the passage

of these vessels. He claims that it's for humanitarian bases, although analysts and

experts claim that there's perhaps a different rationale behind that.
