The United States military claims Iranian naval vessels conducted rocket tests within 1,500 yards of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz last week.
Gunboats believed to be from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard shot at a Singaporean-flagged tanker as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz, according to CNBC News and CNN, citing US officials. The five gunboats ordered the Alpine Eternity to halt. When the captain refused, the gunboats fired across the bow. Iranian fast boats are typically equipped with 50-caliber machine guns.NBC News reported the Iranian gunboats also fired at the stern, in an apparent attempt to disable the propellers of the Alpine Eternity. When Emirati ships approached, the gunboats turned back toward Iran. The Alpine Eternity sought refuge in UAE waters.

Centcom added that four suspected Iran-backed militants responsible for one of the attacks were killed. IMAGES
