The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has denied claims that two Iranian missiles struck one of its naval warships. In a post on X, CENTCOM stated that no US Navy vessel had been attacked. The command added that American forces are currently supporting 'Project Freedom' and enforcing a naval blockade at Iranian ports.

Earlier, Iran’s military had asserted that it intercepted a US Navy warship in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency, the vessel was hit by two missiles after allegedly ignoring warnings while passing through the strait.

The conflicting statements highlight rising tensions in the strategic waterway, though CENTCOM’s denial suggests no immediate escalation has occurred.
