US official said to deny Iran hit US Navy vessel that attempted to cross Strait of Hormuz
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA US official denies the Iranian report that Iran fired two missiles at a US Navy vessel after it attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
The denial from an unnamed official is made to Axios and Channel 12 reporter Barak Ravid.
There is no formal comment from the US on the incident, which apparently took place today.
Iran had warned US forces not to enter the strategic waterway after US President Donald Trump said the United States would “guide out” ships stranded in the strait.
