US Central Command (Centcom) denies that one of its warships has been struck by two Iranian missiles.
In a post on X, Centcom says “no US Navy ships have been struck”. It adds: “U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports.”
The Iranian military earlier claimed that it had prevented a US Navy destroyer from entering the Strait of Hormuz.
Fars, the semi-official Iranian news agency, said a vessel was hit by two missiles as it was sailing through the Strait of Hormuz “in violation of traffic and shipping security”.
