#US #military denies claim that #Iran struck US naval vessel
#CENTCOM has denied claims from Iranian state media that a US vessel was struck by Iranian missiles near the #StraitOfHormuz.
“No US Navy ships have been struck,” CENTCOM posted on X.
State news agency IRNA had reported, citing a military statement, that “following a firm & rapid warning by its navy, the entry of what it described as US & Israeli enemy destroyers into the Strait of Hormuz was prevented.”
#Iran state media reported that Iran’s navy prevented the entry of “enemy destroyers” into the #StraitOfHormuz, after #Trump announced the #US #military would begin protecting ships trying to leave the Gulf.
The #UAE condemned what it said was an “Iranian terrorist attack” that targeted a tanker belonging to the #AbuDhabi state #oil firm #ADNOC that tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The #UAE ministry of Foreign Affairs said #ADNOC’s tanker was targeted by 2 Iranian drones as it was passing through the strait but that no injuries were recorded.
The ministry added that targeting commercial shipping & using the #StraitOfHormuz “as a tool of economic coercion or blackmail represents acts of #piracy by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.”

Anwar Gargash, an adviser to the #UAE president, posted on X: “These attacks confirm that the Iranian threat to the security & stability of the region is ongoing & cannot be ignored.”
#Iran is yet to officially comment on the reported incident, but the state-affiliated news agency Tasnim said that the UAE “has effectively become a pawn of #Israel & is paying huge costs instead of the regime.”

#AbuDhabi’s statement comes amid heightened tensions in the key waterway. #Iran’s navy says it prevented US ships entering the #StraitOfHormuz, which the #US military has denied.

The #US #military said US-flagged merchant vessels successfully passed through the #StraitOfHormuz.
“American forces are actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping,” CentCom posted on X.
The ships’ successful navigation of the strait comes a day after #Trump vowed to guide vessels through the waterway, where #Iran is attempting to control shipping.

So, it took over two months for the US to come up with a military escort programme to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
Brilliant move to ensure the US is trapped in another forever war.
