Iran is claiming that they IRGC actually hit a US warship in the Strait of Hormuz with two missiles.
But CENTCOM says that is not true:
🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles.
✅ TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports. pic.twitter.com/VFxovxLU6G

Iran is now upping the rhetoric against the US, claiming they will target any military ship that tries to enter the Strait of Hormuz:
“We warn that any foreign armed forces, especially the aggressive US army, will be attacked if they intend to approach and enter the strait of Hormuz.”
They also claim Trump hasn’t freed any ships from the Strait of Hormuz:
“No commercial vessels or oil tankers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the last hours. The claims of the American authorities are baseless and a complete lie. Further naval movements that contradict the principles of our navy will encounter serious dangers and violating vessels will be stopped by force.”
But Fox News is reporting that two ships have been freed already. They report on this and much more below:
