Iran opened fire on U.S. warships in the Middle East on Monday and the U.S. military retaliated, destroying six Iranian small boats, according to U.S. Central Command (Centcom) leader Adm. Brad Cooper.
The U.S. military intercepted Iranian cruise missiles and drones as the Trump administration launched an effort to get ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively choked off in recent weeks, Cooper said in a call with reporters Monday.
