Summary

On September 14, 2026, an Iranian cruise missile struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz carrying eight U.S. Marines, injuring all of them. The Marines sustained smoke inhalation and symptoms consistent with concussions, with some reports indicating possible traumatic brain injuries. None of the injuries were life-threatening, and all eight service members returned to active duty shortly after the incident. The vessel was not part of the U.S. Navy fleet. The Pentagon did not publicly disclose the attack at the time it occurred, with the injured Marines only being entered into the Defense Casualty Analysis System approximately 10 days later. The incident was revealed by NBC News citing U.S. officials.
