VS vernietigt zes Iraanse boten in Straat Hormuz

On May 4, 2026, U.S. Navy and Army helicopters sank six Iranian fast attack boats in the Strait of Hormuz that threatened commercial shipping. The operation, using MH-60 Seahawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters, was part of broader defensive efforts to protect the critical waterway, which carries approximately 20 percent of the world's oil shipments. U.S. Central Command reported that American forces also intercepted multiple Iranian cruise missiles and drones targeting protected vessels in the region.
