Iran reports deaths in U.S. attack on cargo ships in Strait of Hormuz

At least five people were killed due to a U.S. attack on two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

This was reported by the Iranian agency Tasnim, citing a source in military circles.

According to the source, the ships carrying civilian cargo were traveling from the Omani port of Khasab to the Iranian coast. The incident came to light after reports were verified that the U.S. had sunk several Iranian boats.

Earlier, the Associated Press, citing the head of the U.S. Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, reported that U.S. military helicopters sank six small Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran refuted these claims, stating that no vessel of the Iranian Navy was sunk by the U.S. on May 4.
