Oman: An Iranian Missile Injures Eight U.S. Marines, Un disclosed Attack

On September 14, eight U.S. Marines were injured in the Strait of Hormuz when an Iranian cruise missile struck a vessel they were operating on, an incident not publicly disclosed at the time. The personnel, including seven enlisted soldiers and one officer, suffered from smoke inhalation and minor head injuries but quickly returned to duty. The Pentagon updated the casualty count nearly ten days later, though the accuracy of official figures is questioned, with reports suggesting some deaths may not have been included.
