CENTCOM Rejects Iran's Claim of Firing Warning Shots at US Destroyers
CENTCOM Rejects Iran's Claim of Firing Warning Shots at US Destroyers The United States Central Command, CENTCOM, has denied claims made by the Islamic Republic’s Army regarding the firing of missiles and drones toward US destroyers in the Sea of Oman. On Friday morning, June 5, Iranian media outlets, citing the army, reported that its navy had fired “Qadir missiles and new attack drones” as a “warning” toward two US destroyers, and that the two destroyers subsequently left the Sea of Oman toward the Indian Ocean. An hour after the publication of this statement, CENTCOM announced on the X platform: “Iranian forces did NOT attack or fire at U.S. Navy warships. Doing so would be a gross violation of the ceasefire.” CENTCOM’s announcement emphasized the continuation of the naval blockade of Iran, which began in late April. Mediation efforts to reach an agreement that could end the tension and conflict between Tehran and Washington are still ongoing. Nevertheless, sporadic clashes continue to occur in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. Donald Trump has said that Operation “Epic Fury,” which began on February 28 with Israel’s participation against Iran and led to a 40-day w…

SPOT - - Iran Guards refute US 'outright lies' about ships transiting ... Ahram online . World By:Ahram Online Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Council (IRGC) described US claims that two American merchant vessels had crossed the Strait of Hormuz as “baseless and completely false" on Monday, after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the ships had transited the vital waterway earlier. No commercial vessels or oil tankers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past few hours, and the claims of American officials are baseless and completely false," the Guards stated on Telegram. Earlier, CENTCOM said two US-flagged merchant vessels had "successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz". It followed up by claiming that "two US-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz and are safely headed on their journey". The IRGC said the US claims are "outright lies," and warned that any other movements against the instructions of the IRGC Navy "face serious risks." Iran said earlier Monday that it had fired missiles at a US warship in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing it of “violating maritime security and navigation norms.” The reports said…

Navy destroyers fend off coordinated Iranian attack, news report says
Navy destroyers fend off coordinated Iranian attack, news report says Guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun transits the Atlantic Ocean in this undated photo. U.S. Central Command on Monday denied reports that Truxtun and another destroyer, USS Mason, had been attacked by Iranian forces earlier this week. (Bryan Valek/U.S. Navy) NAPLES, Italy — Two Navy destroyers repelled a barrage of Iranian air and surface attacks this week to safely cross the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf, according to a news report. The USS Truxtun and USS Mason, supported by Apache helicopters and other aircraft, faced Iranian missiles, drones and small fast-attack boats Monday in a coordinated attack, CBS Newsreported, citing unidentified U.S. officials. Defensive measures underpinned by air support deterred each threat during the sustained attack, according to the CBS report. Neither Truxton nor Mason was struck during the assault, contrary to Iranian state media reports that said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had hit an unidentified U.S. warship with two missiles. That claim is false, U.S. Central Command said in apost to X, adding that “no U.S. ships have been struck.” American forc…

"A Total Lie": Revolutionary Guard Slams American Claims of Breaking ... Loading... Eliana Fleming MAY 4, 2026 18:08 2 min read Israeli Navy in the Middle East (photo: IDF Spokesperson Unit) The Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has issued a stinging rebuttal to recent announcements from Washington regarding the success of "Project Freedom." In an official statement, the IRGC’s media office characterized American claims that commercial ships had successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz as "baseless and a total lie." The Iranian military insists that no commercial vessels or oil tankers have passed through the narrow waterway in recent hours, maintaining that their naval forces retain absolute control over all maritime traffic in the region. This fierce denial comes directly after President Donald Trump announced that two U.S. flagged ships had successfully crossed the Strait, signaling the start of a mission to restore freedom of navigation. U.S. Central Command further supported this by stating that guided missile destroyers are actively operating in the Arabian Gulf to assist commercial shipping . However, the IRGC countered this by warning that any "maritime movements that …
