US Central Command (CENTCOM) has denied Iran’s claim that it attacked a US Navy destroyer in the Gulf of Oman, stating that American military assets at sea continue to operate normally and without disruption.
“Iran is lying. U.S. military assets at sea continue to fly, sail, and operate safely and unimpeded,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.
Earlier, Iranian state media claimed that Iran had struck a US military vessel carrying a “command and control centre” as it approached Iranian territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman.
