CENTCOM Says IRGC Launched Ballistic Missiles at Two U.S. Warships

The supplied CENTCOM account materially upgrades this from an unconfirmed IRGC claim: it states that the IRGC launched ballistic missiles toward two U.S. Navy warships, while the aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer evaded the missiles and no American personnel were harmed. The evidence supports an occurred attempted missile attack, not a successful hit or confirmed damage. This is a major escalation within the existing U.S.-Iran maritime conflict, although prior Iranian warnings and the absence of casualties temper the surprise score. The exact launch time is not provided, so the same-day report timestamp is retained as a low-confidence estimate; approved stakeholders are limited to defense, tanker/shipping, and war-risk insurance companies with a plausible forward-impact channel.
