A report says U.S. fighter jets struck two IRGC Navy speedboats in the Persian Gulf, killing three people and triggering air defenses near Bandar Abbas.
A brief report citing local sources said U.S. fighter jets struck two fast boats belonging to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy in the Persian Gulf, killing three people.
The report also said the sound of an explosion was heard near the airport in Bandar Abbas, a major port city on Iran’s southern coast. It added that air defenses in Bandar Abbas had been activated to confront hostile targets.
The supplied material does not include further details on the timing of the reported strike, the precise location of the boats, the identities of those killed or any official confirmation from Iranian or U.S. authorities. The headline of the report refers to the names of the dead, but those names were not included in the available excerpt.
If confirmed, a U.S. strike on IRGC Navy boats in the Persian Gulf would mark a serious military incident in one of the region’s most strategically sensitive waterways. The IRGC Navy operates in and around the Gulf, while Bandar Abbas is a key coastal hub near the Strait of Hormuz.
For now, the central facts remain limited to the single report: two IRGC speedboats were said to have been targeted by American warplanes, three people were reported killed, explosions were reported near Bandar Abbas airport and local air defenses were said to have responded. Further confirmation would be needed to establish the full sequence of events and the parties involved.
