US Says No Navy Ships Hit After Iran Missile Claim In Strait Of Hormuz

US says no Navy ships hit after Iran missile claim in Strait of Hormuz

The United States has rejected Iran’s claim that it struck a US warship with missiles in the Strait of Hormuz, insisting that no American naval vessels were hit during the reported incident. Iranian state-linked media had earlier alleged that two missiles targeted and struck a US warship near the strategic waterway close to Jask Island, forcing it to turn back after ignoring warnings from Iranian forces. However, US Central Command denied the report, saying there was no evidence that any US Navy ship had been hit or damaged. American officials maintained that all vessels in the region remained operational and accounted for. The disputed claims come amid heightened tensions in the Gulf, where Iran has warned foreign including US military forces against entering the Strait of Hormuz without coordination, threatening military action against any unauthorized presence.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical global oil shipping route, and any escalation in the area has raised concerns about wider disruption to international trade and energy supplies.

While Iranian sources insist the attack occurred, US authorities and independent verification have not confirmed any strike.
