Voice of America:
An Iranian submarine has made an unsuccessful missile launch attempt in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. military official confirmed to VOA on Wednesday.
The Yono-class submarine attempted to launch a cruise missile early Tuesday, the military official said.
Last month, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis visited the region and pledged support for allies’ efforts to counter what he called Iran’s destabilizing activities in the region and resist “Iran’s mischief.”
The latest Iranian action follows an incident last week where a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer fired a warning flare toward an Iranian military vessel in the Persian Gulf.
