Iran touts Hormuz attacks as oil flows increase despite tensions | US-Israel war on Iran News | Al Jazeera

Tehran claims success in attacking ships, including US Navy vessels, near the Strait of Hormuz, forcing Washington to move its warships further from the Iranian coast. US media reported that eight US Marines suffered smoke inhalation and potential traumatic brain injuries on September 14 after being targeted by an Iranian anti-ship missile. The Pentagon has added 29 US sailors and 8 Marines to its list of war-wounded, bringing the total since February to 861, with at least 19 deaths. Iranian state media reported that US warships have recently pulled back from their previous blockade positions closer to Chabahar and the Gulf of Oman, moving further into the Arabian Sea to avoid Iranian missiles.
