Iran’s navy has blocked the passage of “enemy destroyers” into the Strait of Hormuz, the state news agency IRNA reported on Monday.
According to a military statement, IRNA announced that “after a strong and swift warning from its navy, the arrival of what it termed as U.S. and Israeli adversary destroyers into the Strait of Hormuz was halted.”
Xenix News has contacted US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the White House for their reaction to the allegation.
CENTCOM announced that its troops will start reestablishing freedom of navigation for commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.
“Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, stated, ‘Our backing for this defensive operation is crucial for both regional security and the global economy as we continue to enforce the naval blockade.'”
