Iran has once again undermined the credibility of the United States in the Middle East.

A few hours ago, American warships, which are, in essence, fast armored boats, were intercepted by speed boats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in the waters of the Persian Gulf. The actions of the IRGC are connected with the approach of the American military to the territorial waters of the Islamic republic without any apparent need, which in Iran was considered a provocation and retaliated.

In the video footage presented, you can see the process of intercepting American warships by the IRGC's fast boats. At the same time, despite the excessive rapprochement of the Iranian and American military, they managed to avoid any serious incident.

Nevertheless, the actions of the United States were not only condemned by Tehran, but in response to such a provocation, the Iranian military made a successful launch and attacked a target in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz with a ballistic missile.

On the presented video frames, you can see the moment of preparation for the launch, the launch itself and the successful defeat of the surface target, which could not withstand the impact and was completely destroyed.

The circumstances of the rapprochement of American ships with Iranian territorial waters by the US Navy command have not yet been commented on.
