The Pentagon on Wednesday rejected claims that American naval vessels were hit in the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting Iranian state media reports that suggested U.S. ships near the waterway had been targeted by missiles and drones from Iranian military forces.
Despite Iran’s top joint military command declaring the strait closed to all vessel traffic, the U.S. Central Command stated in a post on X that commercial shipping continues to move through the Strait of Hormuz in both directions.
