Two missiles have struck a US Navy vessel near the strategic Strait of Hormuz after it ignored warnings from Iran's naval forces, according to a report.

Fars News Agency reported that the American warship was moving in the vicinity of Jask port on Monday with the intention of transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, in violation of maritime security protocols. 

The vessel reportedly disregarded multiple warnings issued by the Islamic Republic of Iran's naval forces before being targeted.

According to the report, the US vessel suffered damage from the strikes, forcing it to abandon its course and retreat from the area.

The Islamic Republic of Iran had previously announced that any transit through the Strait of Hormuz without official authorization from Iran is not permitted, and that any disregard for this warning would be met with a decisive response from the country's armed forces.
