The U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, announced that on May 6, as U.S. destroyers equipped with guided missiles passed through the Strait of Hormuz towards the Sea of Oman, they intercepted missile, drone, and small boat attacks from the Islamic Republic and struck the sources of these attacks in Iran.

According to CENTCOM, the Islamic Republic forces launched these attacks with several missiles, drones, and small boats while the USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason were transiting this international maritime passage, and none of the U.S. equipment or assets were targeted.

CENTCOM stated that U.S. forces, while repelling these threats, targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for the attacks on U.S. forces, including missile and drone launch sites, command and control centers, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance nodes.

CENTCOM emphasized that it is not seeking to escalate tensions but remains in a position to protect U.S. forces.
