PANews reported on June 11 that, according to CCTV News, US Defense Secretary Hergsays stated that the US Central Command (Eastern Time) would be "very busy" on the evening of June 10 because the US military would "launch a fierce attack on Iran" and "bomb key facilities within Iran." Prior to this, Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Abufazl Shekarchi, regarding the US statements about attacking Iranian infrastructure, stated that Iran would respond to every threat from the US with "more severe, stronger, and more destructive measures than ever before."

Against this backdrop, according to CCTV International News, Iran's Mehr News Agency reported early this morning (June 11) that a conflict occurred between Iranian and US forces at sea. Initial reports indicate that US warships near the Strait of Hormuz were attacked by Iranian missiles and drones.

Subsequently, the Central Command of the Iranian Armed Forces, Hatem Anbia, issued a statement early this morning (June 11) local time, stating that in view of the unstable security situation in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all types of vessels, including oil tankers and merchant ships, effective immediately, and any vessel attempting to pass through the strait "will be attacked."

Later reports indicated that Trump, in an interview with Fox News on the evening of June 10th (Eastern Time), stated that US fighter jets were conducting missions over Iran and that he had spoken "directly" with Iranian officials, who demanded a halt to the bombing. Iran denied any contact with Trump.
