The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has rejected a claim by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that it targeted US Navy destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement published on Wednesday, September 9, CENTCOM said on X that the IRGC’s claim was “completely false.”
The US military said that no US warship had been hit by a missile and that all attacks by the IRGC had failed.
Earlier on Wednesday, the IRGC claimed that it had carried out a missile attack on two US destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, the IRGC also claimed on Tuesday that it had intercepted and seized a US “smart underwater vessel” in the Strait of Hormuz.
However, CENTCOM did not mention the claim in its statement.
