Iran has claimed that its military carried out a cruise missile strike on a United States naval vessel in the northern Indian Ocean, as tensions between Tehran and Washington continue to escalate.

According to the Iranian military, the attack targeted a US warship operating in the region. Iranian officials did not provide further details about the operation, including the extent of the damage or whether there were any casualties. There has been no immediate confirmation or response from the United States regarding the claim.

In a separate statement, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for another attack in Bahrain. The force said it struck a facility used to store US military drones and also destroyed an artificial intelligence center during the operation. The claims could not be independently verified.

The latest statements come as the conflict between Iran and the United States continues to intensify. Both sides have exchanged a series of military strikes in recent days, raising fears of a wider conflict across the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Mohsen Rezaei, a senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, issued a strong warning to Washington. He said any additional US attacks inside Iranian territory could significantly change the direction of the conflict.

Rezaei said Iran has so far adopted a defensive military strategy but warned that the country could shift to a more aggressive approach if American strikes continue.

He further stated that if the United States carries out more attacks over the coming days, Iran will launch a full-scale offensive operation. He said such a move would mark a major escalation in the ongoing confrontation.

The remarks reflect Iran’s increasingly firm stance as military tensions continue to rise. Analysts have warned that continued attacks by either side could increase the risk of a broader regional conflict involving other countries in the Middle East.
