Iranian missiles land within 20 miles of ship, 100 miles from Nimitz strike group in Indian Ocean: officials
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: Long-range missiles from Iran splashed down close to a commercial ship in the Indian Ocean Saturday and 100 miles from the Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group, Fox News has learned, in the latest example of rising tensions in the region.
Iran tests missiles frequently. Senior U.S. military officials say 100 miles was a long way from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. Another source says these missiles did not cause alarm, and this was a fairly standard routine exercise. Twenty miles near a commercial vessel is more concerning, but not seen as a threat by the U.S. military, another source said.More Related News
