Iran Launched Undisclosed Second Wave of Attacks on US Navy Ships - WSJ Iran launched an attack against U.S. Navy ships on Monday that the U.S. military has yet to acknowledge, according to U.S. officials, after firing ballistic missiles at an aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer over the weekend. No American ships were struck in the attacks, but Iran’s recent attempts to hit American naval assets are raising alarm that the regime is using more sophisticated weapons and could be getting assistance from China or Russia, according to the officials.
