Missiles fired at U.S. frigate in Strait of Hormuz, claims Iranian media

Iranian media said on Monday (May 4, 2026) that a U.S. navy frigate was targeted by two missiles in the Strait of Hormuz, after President Donald Trump said U.S. forces would begin guiding ships through the waterway.

“The frigate, which was sailing on Monday in the Strait of Hormuz, in violation of navigation and maritime safety rules near (the port of) Jask, was targeted by a missile attack after ignoring a warning from the Iranian navy,” the Fars news agency said, without citing a source.
