00:16What happens when two U.S. warships sail into one of the most dangerous waterways on Earth
00:21and suddenly find themselves locked by 16 cruise missiles?
00:26That's the explosive claim coming out of Iran.
00:28According to reports from Press TV, a tense standoff unfolded on April 11th in the Strait of Hormuz,
00:36one of the world's most critical oil choke points.
00:39Two U.S. Navy destroyers, the USS Michael Murphy and the USS Frank E. Peterson,
00:45were attempting to pass through the region, but things escalated fast.
00:49They were intercepted by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
00:54Warnings were issued.
00:55The U.S. ships reportedly didn't comply, and that's when the situation turned critical.
01:01Engage in transit passage in accordance with international law.

01:17Iranian forces claimed they locked 16 cruise missiles onto the American warships,
01:24essentially putting them just moments away from being fired upon.
01:27The message was clear.
01:29Leave immediately or be hit.
01:47According to the report, U.S. forces requested a 15-minute delay, possibly to contact command and
01:54assess their options, but the clock was ticking.
01:57The entire standoff lasted less than an hour, and then the U.S. destroyers turned around and withdrew from the
02:04area.
02:05Now here's where it gets even more intense.
02:07The report claims this wasn't just a routine transit, it was a high-risk operation.
02:13Allegedly, the U.S. ships tried to disguise themselves, spoofing their identity as commercial vessels to avoid detection.
02:20They even navigated through shallow coastal waters, hoping to slip through unnoticed during a ceasefire period.
02:27But Iranian forces say they saw through it, tracked it, and responded instantly.
02:32There are even claims that drones were deployed alongside the missile lock,
02:37meaning the ships were potentially surrounded from multiple angles.
02:40Now, important reality check.
02:43These claims come from Iranian state media.
02:46There is no independent confirmation that missiles were actually locked,
02:50or that the U.S. ships were seconds away from destruction.
02:54But if true, this would represent one of the closest near-conflicts between the U.S. and Iran in recent
03:00years,
03:01a moment where a single decision could have triggered something far bigger.
03:05So, was this a show of force, or a near-miss that almost escalated into open conflict?
03:11One, two, one. Engage in transit passage in accordance with international law.
03:16No challenges attended to you.

03:54because I'm ready to open fire on them without any warning.
