Iran challenges US head-on: Mojtaba forces Trump's fleet to retreat as missiles roar over Oman Sea

Iran has claimed that its naval forces compelled U.S. destroyers and the USS Tripoli to alter course in the Sea of Oman after a tense confrontation involving Ghadir anti-ship missiles and combat drones. Tehran warned that any further American “maritime mischief” near the Strait of Hormuz could trigger stronger military responses, including the use of longer-range missile systems. The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions and growing concerns over maritime security in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. Iran’s latest warning signals a potential escalation in its standoff with Washington as both sides continue to project military power across the Gulf region.
