Iran Claims Missile Strike on U.S. Support Ship Amid Rising Tensions in Indian Ocean

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have struck a U.S. MST-class combat support ship carrying fuel and ammunition in the Indian Ocean, disabling it with missile and drone attacks as part of Operation True Promise 4. The IRGC warned that other U.S. naval assets remain within range amid ongoing tensions. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump issued further warnings to Iran following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, amid heightened regional military activities and retaliatory operations.
