Iran: Several Ballistic Missiles Fired At U.S. Aircraft Carrier, Navy Destroyer

"Iran state media is releasing footage of its own Saturday action against U.S. assets in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, as part of the fresh weekend tit-for-tat fighting with the United States. Per state PressTV and IRIB, it seems Tehran is saying it has targeted six vessels:
U.S. Central Command confirmed on X that U.S. forces struck three Iranian oil tankers after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles toward two U.S. Navy warships.
CENTCOM provided details:
"Following
Iran's failed attacks, CENTCOM permanently disabled the IRGC crude oil carriers M/T Downy off the coast of Kharg Island and M/T Stark 1 near Jask. American forces also completely destroyed the unladen crude oil carrier M/T Kylo (also known as the "Noxen") in the Gulf of Oman, striking the vessel in multiple critical locations to render it inoperable after the crew was directed to abandon ship.
The three
Iranian crude oil tankers are part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC and its regional proxies. Iran
has no means by which to defend them." ZeroHedge
