😱 Iran Hit Two US Ships at Once – America’s Combined Air and Naval Response Came in 35 Minutes 😱
On February 12, 2026, a coordinated Iranian assault targeted two U.S. Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz, marking a significant escalation in hostilities.
The USS Laboon, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, faced an attack from Iranian fast attack boats, while the USS San Jacinto, a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, was struck by anti-ship missiles launched from the Iranian coast.
This operation, dubbed “Operation Martyr’s Vengeance,” was meticulously planned over three months and aimed to inflict maximum casualties on American forces.
Despite the initial success of the Iranian attack, the U.S. Navy’s response was swift and decisive.
Within 35 minutes of the assault, Vice Admiral James Richardson authorized “Operation Hammerfall,” which unleashed a comprehensive air and naval strike against Iranian military assets.
The U.S. response included Tomahawk missiles and airstrikes from F/A-18 Super Hornets and B-1B bombers, targeting Iranian naval bases and missile installations.
The operation resulted in significant Iranian losses, including the destruction of fast attack boats, missile batteries, and command centers, while the U.S. suffered ten fatalities.
The aftermath of the attack and subsequent U.S. response shifted the military balance in the region, demonstrating America’s capability to retaliate swiftly against coordinated threats.
