IRGC said to deny US ships transited Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denied the American military’s report that two US ships transited the Strait of Hormuz despite the Iranian blockade, according to Iran’s Tasnim News.

The IRGC says no commercial vessel or tanker has crossed the strait in the past few hours, and adds that “claims by US officials are baseless and complete lies,” according to the report.

Iran had previously said it fired warning shots at US ships.
