U.S. Central Command has firmly denied claims by Iranian state media that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck a U.S. warship with two missiles.
In an official statement, CENTCOM said that “no U.S. Navy ships have been struck,” adding that U.S. forces are continuing to support ongoing operations and enforce a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
The denial comes amid rising regional tensions and conflicting narratives, contributing to increased uncertainty across global markets.
