Accra:Iranian anti-ship missiles successfully struck the American fleet during the 2026 confrontation, forcing a withdrawal. This marked a significant moment as the fleet had aimed to impose its presence, but instead faced a retreat.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei commented on the situation, expressing confidence that the Arabian Sea would soon also be free of such foreign naval presence.

This development highlights a shift in naval dynamics, challenging the long-standing dominance of American aircraft carriers in global waters.
