Premieră militară în războiul din Golf: Iranul a lansat o rachetă electro-optică spre nave SUA din Ormuz • Newsweek România

Iran has reportedly launched a new electro-optical guided missile targeting US warships near the Strait of Hormuz, marking a military first. CENTCOM confirmed the attack but stated it was unsuccessful. This action is part of Iran's retaliation against US strikes on Iranian tankers. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claims the missile uses advanced guidance systems that do not rely on GPS, enhancing its precision. Iran has also warned of potential future attacks on vessels in Bahrain and Kuwait, raising concerns about maritime security in the region, which is crucial for global oil transport. The situation has led to a spike in oil prices, surpassing $100 per barrel.
