US NAVY CORNERED?: IRGC Locks 16 Missiles On US Warships In Explosive Hormuz Standoff | US-Iran War
Tensions surged in the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, as reported by Press TV, claimed it locked 16 cruise missiles onto two U.S. Navy destroyers—USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) and USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG-121)—during an April 11 standoff. According to the report, Iranian forces issued warnings before escalating to missile targeting, forcing the vessels into a rapid withdrawal after a tense exchange that lasted less than an hour. The episode, though unconfirmed by U.S. officials, marks a sharp escalation in one of the world’s most critical oil chokepoints, underscoring rising risks of confrontation and the fragile balance of deterrence in the region.
