Iran Claims Missile Strike on U.S. Destroyer with New Kader‑380 Weapon — A Potential Escalation in the Indian Ocean

Iran’s IRGC announced it struck a U.S. destroyer with Kader‑380 and other missiles during a refuelling operation roughly 600 km from Iran’s coast, claiming fires aboard both the warship and a tanker. Independent verification is lacking; regardless, the claim marks a sharp escalation with implications for naval operations, regional stability and global shipping.
