TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

Yep, we hit them hard tonight.
Looks like it's on again.
bump
at this point the iranian “leadership” is just dicking us around. They understand boom boom so there you go.
They always have been.
Their moon god says it is okay to lie.
Not holding my breath.
Just give peace a chance. Give it time. Trust Trump’s plan. You don’t understand 8d chess. Read “The Art of the Deal to pass time and only then you may be able to understand only a part of Trump’s greatness and a little bit of how he thinks.
Trump is great.
Nah, Trump says this was just a “love tap” and the “ceasefire” holds.
