Project Freedom is underway. The US took two ships through earlier today, before Iran started shooting. The U.S. blew up six IRGC gunboats and deflected missiles after Tehran launched “multiple cruise missiles, drones, and small boats” at American Navy ships and commercial vessels, US Central Command said.
President Trump said, “Iran just made a big mistake, the biggest mistake in its history.” He’s likely going to bomb them again.
Several non-mainstream reports, including one from Iran International (a Saudi Arabian outlet), are coming in saying the US destroyed six Iranian gunboats.

CENTCom has brought two ships through the Hormuz Strait. Iran claims the US fled when Iran fired warning shots.
Iran’s IRGC sent out this warning this afternoon.

Iran put up a video of a surface-to-air missile firing to prove the US didn’t destroy all their capabilities.
Iran targeted the UAE last night.
🇦🇪🇮🇷 The UAE has strongly condemned Iran’s attacks tonight.
They also state they have the “full and legitimate right to respond to these attacks.”
The UAE has been absorbing Iranian strikes since February 28. 537 ballistic missiles, 2,256 drones, 26 cruise missiles intercepted… https://t.co/eVzyloSS4r pic.twitter.com/NkdGxf6seb

The report that US ships were struck appears to be untrue.
🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles.
✅ TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports. pic.twitter.com/VFxovxLU6G
