The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released footage showing missile launches at sea targets in the Hormuz Strait.
CENTCOM announced that the Islamic Republic attacked ships protected by the United States in the Strait of Hormuz using missiles, drones, and small boats. CENTCOM also reported the destruction of six Iranian small boats that aimed to disrupt commercial shipping.
On January 15, 2026, the United States launched naval ships and fighter aircraft to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian small boats intercepted and fired upon several U.S. ships. In retaliation, the U.S. military engaged and destroyed Iranian boats, leading Iran to launch missiles toward the Gulf, resulting in further military engagements by U.S. air and naval forces.
On Monday, CENTCOM announced that American destroyers entered the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure safe passage for commercial ships, while Tasnim News Agency claimed Iranian navy warning shots were fired in response.
Iran launched cruise missiles at both commercial vessels and U.S. military ships in an attack.
