00:00Breaking news is coming in from the Strait of Hormuz. Iran claims it has fired missiles
00:04at United States Navy vessel near Jaa Skyland.
00:08Now this is big news. According to Iran's artillery guard, the US warship was struck
00:13after it ignored repeated warnings to stop. This marks a dramatic and dangerous escalation
00:18in an already explosive region. And the timing is critical. Just hours before this incident,
00:24US President Donald Trump had announced a major naval mission, Project Freedom, aimed at escorting
00:31stranded commercial ships out of the Strait and securing this important, vital global trade route.
00:37But Iran is pushing back hard. In a blunt warning, the Iranian military says it has blocked US warships
00:44from entering the Strait altogether, calling it a firm and swift response. And Tehran is not stopping
00:50there. It has fired two missiles blocking US Navy from escorting those commercial ships and taking
00:57over the Hormuz. Now this attack came when senior military leader, Major General Ali Abdullah issued
01:03a chilling warning. He said, do not enter Hormuz and do not trust United States and any country which
01:12will back it is going to face big problems. He has warned foreign navies to stay out of the region,
01:18cautioning that any attempt to escort ships through the Strait could lead to serious and irreversible
01:24consequences. Now in a fiery statement, the same journal stated that United States, please do not
01:32enter Hormuz and let global economy survive. The message from Tehran is loud and clear. Stay out or face
01:39escalation. Now a direct confrontation between US and Iranian forces in this narrow corridor is spiraling
01:46into the emergence of war. These are the latest details and watch our special report to understand
01:52whether this is the exact moment and we are just moments away from Iran versus US-Israel war 2.0.
02:20A flashpoint in one of the world's most critical waterways, Iranian media now claims a US warship has
02:30been struck by missiles in the Strait of Hormuz. According to reports from Iran's Fars News Agency,
02:38two missiles were fired at a US naval vessel near the coastal city of Jask. The claim?
02:46The warship ignored warnings, was hit and forced to withdraw. However, a senior US official has denied such
02:55claims, according to Axios. Still, the implications are serious. Because this comes at a moment of rising
03:04tension as Washington launches a major new operation, dubbed Project Freedom, the mission aims to reopen
03:13shipping lanes and restore navigation through Hormuz, a corridor that carries nearly a quarter of the
03:20world's seaborne oil. The operation involves thousands of personnel, guided missile destroyers,
03:28aircraft and advanced unmanned systems under the command of United States Central Command.
03:36US President Donald Trump has called it a humanitarian effort to assist stranded vessels
03:43running low on fuel and supplies. But for Iran, this is something else. A challenge, a violation, and potentially a
03:53trigger.
03:54The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has repeatedly warned that foreign military presence in the
04:01strait without coordination would be treated as a threat. And now, this claimed strike signals how
04:10quickly things could escalate. Over the past months, the strait of Hormuz has become a pressure point. Iran
04:18has seized ships, restricted passage, and asserted control. The US, in response, has carried out strikes
04:27on Iranian naval assets targeting missile sites and min layers. A cycle of action and reaction. Now,
04:37with Project Freedom underway, that cycle risks accelerating. If the claim is verified,
04:44it would mark a direct hit on a US naval asset, a significant escalation. If not, it still underscores
04:53the fragile environment, where perception can be as powerful as reality. For global markets,
05:02the stakes are immediate. Any disruption in Hormuz affects energy supply, prices, and economic stability
05:11worldwide. For now, questions remain. Was a US warship hit? Was it forced to withdraw? Or is this part of
05:21a
05:22broader information battle playing out alongside military operations? What is clear, is this. The
05:30Strait of Hormuz is no longer just a shipping lane. It is a front line, and the next move could
05:38shape what comes next.
