Summary

Eight US Marines were injured on September 14 when an Iranian cruise missile struck a maritime vessel they were operating in the Strait of Hormuz. The Marines sustained smoke inhalation and symptoms consistent with concussions, with some possibly suffering traumatic brain injuries. None were seriously injured and all returned to duty shortly after the attack. The vessel was not a US Navy ship. The Pentagon did not publicly disclose the attack when it occurred; the incident was revealed by NBC News citing US officials, and the Marines' injuries were added to the Defense Department's casualty tracking system approximately ten days after the incident.
