Iran’s Battle Claims Just Got Hit with a Flat Denial: No Warship Was Struck, and Every IRGC Attempt Failed, CENTCOM Say
CENTCOM said all IRGC attacks on American naval vessels failed after Iran claimed strikes on two U.S. ships and eight oil tankers.
- On Wednesday, Central Command denied Iranian claims that Navy warships were struck in the Strait of Hormuz, confirming all attempted attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps failed.
- This escalation followed United States strikes that destroyed five Iranian crude carriers on September 8; Tehran responded by firing ballistic missiles at a base in Jordan, claiming it acted "in retaliation."
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck 20 vessels in separate operations, threatening to impose a "maritime exclusion zone" in the Gulf as commercial shipping traffic dropped significantly.
- As Brent crude neared $100 a barrel on Tuesday, Jordan intercepted 18 of 20 ballistic missiles fired by Iran at a base used by United States forces, reporting no casualties.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio framed United States policy during a visit to Colombia, stating the United States will respond to every Iranian attempt to strike by targeting additional tankers.
