A US warship and three commercial vessels were attacked in the Red Sea off Yemen on Sunday — an intense development that American officials said appeared to be “fully enabled by Iran.
“The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners,” the US Central Command warned in a statement of the incident, which ratcheted up maritime tensions in the Middle East during the Israel-Hamas war.
The USS Carney — which previously shot down missiles and drones aiming for it as it escorted a commercial vessel through the war-torn region — was targeted along with at least three commercial ships starting around 10 a.m. local time in an assault that lasted about five hours, the Pentagon and an unnamed US official said, according to The Associated Press.
The three commercial vessles were struck by the missiles, but it did not appear that the American warship was hit.
“We’re aware of reports regarding attacks on the USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as it becomes available,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
