U.S. forces launched a rapid defensive operation in the Strait of Hormuz after multiple Iranian one-way attack drones were detected threatening commercial vessels and American interests in one of the world’s most strategically important waterways. According to two U.S. officials who spoke with Fox News, American forces successfully shot down four Iranian drones and carried out a precision strike on a ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was reportedly preparing to launch a fifth aircraft toward the busy maritime corridor.
