The American military denies that any of its Navy ships were hit by Iranian missiles in the Strait of Hormuz.
“No US Navy ships have been struck,” US Central Command says. “US forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports.”
While denying that any ships were hit, CENTCOM does not mention whether any US Navy vessels came under fire but weren’t struck.
